Jazz saxophonist and composer Steve Lehman brings his octet to the best room for jazz in town for an evening of inventive and exhilarating music. Named Rising Star Jazz Artist and Rising Star Alto Saxophonist in Downbeat’s 2015 Critics Poll, Lehman employs advanced theories of spectral harmony to shape his unique, ultramodern sound. As evidenced on their critically acclaimed sophomore album Mise en Abîme, Lehman and his talented musicians brilliantly balance these heady concepts with nimble improvisation, showcasing both subtlety and the bright sparks issued by their ready-for-anything attitude. The group will appear in the Performance Space at the Wexner Center for the Arts at 8 p.m. May 6. Click on wexarts.org for ticket information.
