Saxophonist, composer, educator, and bandleader Steve Lehman is a forward-thinking musician who offers a rigorously individual, culturally expansive conception of jazz. 2001's free-leaning Structural Fire won critical notice and included incendiary trumpeter Roy Campbell, Jr. 2005's Demian as Posthuman balanced groove-oriented compositions with electroacoustic production. 2009's Travail, Transformation & Flow was the first fully realized exploration of spectral harmony in jazz. 2014's Mise en Abîme incorporated live electronics and a custom-built vibraphone, playing three radically re-imagined Bud Powell compositions. On 2017's Sélébéyone, Lehman drew inspiration from jazz, Senegalese rap, underground hip-hop, and live electronics, in an expression of global urban experimentalism. A slightly smaller version of Sélébéyone issued Xaybu: The Unseen in 2022. The following year he collaborated with Orchestre National de Jazz on Ex Machina, followed by The Music of Anthony Braxton in 2025.
Steve Lehman has also released music as a member of Vijay Iyer Sextet, Steve Lehman Octet, Steve Lehman Trio, and Steve Lehman Quintet.
