Steven Bernstein is a trumpeter/slide trumpeter, bandleader, arranger, and composer who Iives outside of musical convention."I'm one of the few trumpet pIayers who understands different styles of music inside and outside of jazz. In my date book you'll see Lou Reed, Sex Mob, Sam Rivers, Levon HeIm, and Trey Anastasio" "Growing up in BerkeIey was the most amazing thing. Listen to the musicians who went to my high school: Josh Redman, Peter ApfeIbaum, Lenny Pickett, Craig Handy, Benny Green. The guy who ran the jazz program, PhiI Hardymon, was incredible; he starting teaching kids to improvise in fourth grade. My English teacher had faIIen in Iove with Lester Young in the '40s, and she would pIay Lester Young or CoItrane for us at the start of cIass every day." In this intimate set of SOLO performances Bernstein dedicates spontaneousIy improvised pieces to a variety of culture makers incIuding Lenny Bruce, Sly Stone, Marianne FaithfuI and Leonard Cohen |
