Lew Tabackin
Born:
Lew Tabackin flutist and tenor saxophonist, is an artist of astonishing vision. His electrifying flute playing is at once virtuosic, primordial, cross-cultural, and passionate.

Without copying or emulating jazz greats of the past, Lew Tabackin has absorbed elements into his style, ultimately creating his own sound and aura. His interest in music began in his birthplace, Philadelphia, where he first studied flute and then tenor saxophone in high school
