drumsAbout
Steve Lehman is a “quietly dazzling saxophonist” (The New York Times) who works across a broad spectrum of experimental musical idioms. His pieces have been performed by the International Contemporary Ensemble and Sō Percussion, among others, and his 2009 recording Travail, Transformation & Flow was chosen as the “#1 Jazz/Pop Album of the Year” by The New York Times. This visionary composer is creating powerful new models for improvisation and leads his acrobatic Octet in this UMS debut.
