Steve Lehman Quintet CD Release Celebration

Ars Nova Workshop is pleased to announce the CD release celebration of On Meaning (Pi Recordings), the highly anticipated new recording from Steve Lehman's critically acclaimed quintet on January 12, 2008 at Philadelphia Art Alliance.

Widely regarded as one of today's bracingly original young composers, Lehman combines groove-oriented musical content with highly contrapuntal, asymmetrical, and non-repetitive structural devices. Imagining his music in this way, Lehman's quintet (Steve Lehman - alto saxophone; Jonathan Finlayson - trumpet; Tyshawn Sorey - drums; Chris Dingman - vibraphone; Matt Brewer - bass;) creates elaborate formal works that remain rooted in the physicality of live performance and the visceral nature of urban rhythm.
