Steve Lehman: Mise en Abîme
by Hrayr Attarian
Saxophonist Steve Lehman's 12th release as a leader/co-leader and his second one with an octet Mise en Abime is a cohesive work of intriguingly cerebral and dramatic nature. Like the title implies there are concepts that repeat, amplify and fade in the process of constructing and deconstructing the main themes of the album. On ...

3D: Dąbrowski Davis Drury: Vermilion Tree
by Eyal Hareuveni
The international 3D trio was initiated by Polish, Denmark-based rising trumpeter Tomasz Dąbrowski during his 2012 visit to New York that already yielded a duo with drummer Tyshawn Sorey (Steps, For Tune, 2013). Canadian, New York-based pianist Kris Davis and American drummer (with Nordic roots) Andrew Drury join Dąbrowski in a set of eight concise, snapshot-like ...
Tyshawn Sorey: Alloy
by Karl Ackermann
From an early age composer/drummer/educator Tyshawn Sorey has found creative outlets in not just music but in painting and literature as well. Never one to compartmentalize his own imagination, he has enthusiastically explored blues, gospel, classical and music for dance so it seems quite natural that his current music defies categories. Whether listening or writing, he ...
Steve Lehman Octet: Mise en Abîme
by Martin Longley
It's been five years since Steve Lehman's last Octet album, so we're now voracious for more expanded material. Right at the start, his alto saxophone is briefly alone, and then the entire ensemble weighs in, earthy yet finely controlled. Chris Dingman's customised vibraphone is absolutely central to the sound of these Lehman originals, most of which ...

by Henning Bolte

This number of concerts is the consequence of a unique concept. The core of the festival, with some international headliners, is a relatively small scale ...
Steve Lehman: Mise en Abîme
by Dan Bilawsky
There's much ado about the co-mingling of styles, languages, and genres in saxophonist Steve Lehman's music. A good amount of what's been written about his work has focused on his use of spectral music techniques and live electronics, the specially-made microtonal vibraphone that Chris Dingman plays, and the way Lehman mixes it all together to create ...
Steve Lehman: Mise en Abîme
by Luca Canini
È successo tutto piuttosto in fretta: da giovane promessa a venerato maestro. Un'ascesa irresistibile quella di Steve Lehman, un'esplosione assordante. Qualche anno e una manciata di dischi sono bastati per farlo entrare nel novero dei grandissimi del jazz che conta (quello che guardando al passato si proietta verso il futuro: il resto è tempo più o ...
