Upcoming Events / March 2025 / Joyce and George T Wein Shape of Jazz Series: Steven Bernstein
Friday, March 14, 2025, 9 pm
Grammy-winning trumpeter, composer, bandleader, and first-call bandmate Steven Bernstein has been an essential voice in New York City’s jazz and creative music scene since the 1970s. With his own bands (including Sexmob, Millennial Territory Orchestra, and Diaspora Soul); as a former member of The Lounge Lizards and Levon Helm’s Midnight Ramble; and as an arranger or sideman for such artists as Lou Reed, Lee “Scratch” Perry, Linda Ronstadt, Allen Toussaint, Laurie Anderson, Rufus Wainwright, and Nels Cline, Bernstein’s contributions to music are extraordinary. Prolific, versatile, and undefinable, Bernstein now makes his Carnegie Hall headlining debut, and the possibilities are nearly endless.
