Steve Lehman Octet, Atlas Performing Arts Center, DC, November 13, 2013
Steve Lehman Octet: Steve Lehman (as), Mark Shim (ts), Jonathan Finlayson (tp), Tim Albright (tb), Chris Dingman (vibes), Jose Davila (tuba), Drew Gress (b), Tyshawn Sorey (d).
Lehman was a student of both Jackie McLean and Anthony Braxton, and those two influences can be heard in the performance of the sextet. It was a very satisfying show. Just hearing an octet these days is uncommon; this one was excellent.
