Luger

http://luger.bandcamp.com/

Lüger is setting the Spanish scene on fire. With less than 2 years under their belt and one record that came out last April they’ve had enough time to play all over Spain and be one of the highlights at Primavera Club 2010. They’ve also played in festivals such as Space is the Place (with OM and Acid Mothers Temple) or Monkey Week (Faust, Sonic Boom, Cave, Quintron, etc.).

Interview with Steve Lehman

From Ars Nova Workshop:

On Friday, March 11, Ars Nova Workshop’s three-day Composer Portrait: Fieldwork series begins. Following interviews with drummer Tyshawn Sorey and pianist Vijay Iyer earlier this week, today we share a conversation with saxophonist Steve Lehman. Lehman’s 2009 recording Travail, Transformation, and Flow was praised for creating a dialogue between spectral harmony and jazz – the daring work rightfully earned a spot on numerous critical year-end lists, including the top position in New York Times’ Best Jazz Albums category – and proved the young composer’s deep appreciation for GZA’s Liquid Swords. He has worked with innovative artists such as Anthony Braxton and Dave Burrell, written pieces for large orchestra and chamber ensemble that have been performed by the International Contemporary Ensemble and Kammerensemble Neue Musik Berlin, and, as an educator, taught at Wesleyan University, Columbia University, and The Royal Academy of Music in London. Following Saturday’s presentation of Fieldwork in trio, on Sunday, Lehman’s Nos Revi Nella will be performed by JACK Quartet.
