"Probing the furthest frontiers of rhythm science, alto saxophonist
Steve Lehman represents some of the most advanced compositional
thinking in jazz today. A child of the avant-garde, he's a former
student and bandmate of Anthony Braxton and a member of Fieldwork, the
collaborative trio with piano visionary Vijay Iyer. Lehman's 2005
outing Demian as Posthuman, featuring Meshell Ndegeocello, is a study
in splintered soundscapes and mind-altering beats." -Philadelphia
Weekly
Named a Rising Star on the alto saxophone in 2006 and 2007 by the
Downbeat Magazine International Critics Poll, STEVE LEHMAN is a
saxophonist and composer whose work resides on the cutting-edge of
contemporary music. He has been recognized as one of today's truly
original creative voices by The Wire, The New York Times, The Village
Voice, and by National Public Radio. A former student of both Jackie
McLean and Anthony Braxton, he has performed and recorded throughout
the United States and Europe with his own ensembles, and with those
led by Anthony Braxton, Dave Burrell, Mark Dresser, Vijay Iyer, Oliver
Lake, and Meshell Ndegeocello. Lehman's pieces for large orchestra and
chamber ensembles have been performed by the Janacek Philharmonic,
members of Ensemble 21 and Ensemble Sospeso, and by the pianist
Marilyn Nonken. Lehman's recent electro-acoustic music has focused on
the development of computer-driven models for improvisation using
Max/MSP. Lehman is a doctoral candidate in Music Composition at
Columbia University. Lehman's recordings as a leader include On
Meaning (Pi 2007) and Demian as Posthuman (Pi 2005), featuring 9-time
Grammy nominee Meshell Ndegeocello.
