FLAC tracks | Jazz | 41:40 | 213 MbHailed by The New York Times as “a state-of-the-art musical thinker” and “a quietly dazzling saxophonist,” Steve Lehman has built a career creating innovative, uncompromising music that packs a visceral wallop.

His signature alto sound — searing with emotional intensity and crystal clear articulation — has been featured in high-profile partnerships with Vijay Iyer, Jason Moran, and Bennie Maupin.

But at just 40-years-old, his greatest musical achievements have been his many critically-acclaimed, groundbreaking projects, which have run the gamut from Senegalese hip-hop (Selebeyone (Pi 2017)) to French spectral music (Travail, Transformation and Flow (Pi 2009), Mise en Abîme (Pi 2014)).

With his latest album, The People I Love, Lehman revisits his jazz roots, presenting his take on the classic alto saxophone quartet tradition.

It’s a modern day referendum on the possibilities for that time-worn configuration for 2019 and beyond.
