Steve Lehman: Demian as Posthuman
by Terrell Kent Holmes

Steve Lehman: Demian as Posthuman
by Paul Olson
Altoist Steve Lehman's quintet recording Artificial Light was one of last year's best albums, but Demian as Posthuman couldn't be more different.

The drugs-give-you-soul days have more or less passed, but the mystery of what connects heart to ...

Steve Lehman Quintet: Structural Fire
by Derek Taylor
The brashness of youth has usually yielded bountiful harvest in the fields of modern jazz. Consider the crackling work of a fresh-faced Lee Morgan in Dizzy Gillespie’s touring band of the early Fifties, or the brazen sounds of a cherub-cheeked Jackie McLean in Miles Davis’ outfit of the same time period.
