Steven Bernstein's Millennial Territory Orchestra
Past event
Dec 01, 2007
Tearing into witty and funky new arrangements of little-known jazz nuggets from the 1920s and ‘30s, Steven Bernstein (Grammy-nominated composer/Sex Mob leader/trumpeter) leads an improvisational nine-piece outfit playing irreverent 21st-century jazz. The band is consistently praised for uniting sexy grooves spanning a century of music—from Don Redman to Sly Stone to the present—with free jazz abandon. Featuring Matt Munisteri (guitar), Ben Allison (bass), Charlie Burnham (violin), Ben Perowsky (drums), Erik Lawrence (reeds), Doug Wieselman (reeds), Peter Apfelbaum (reeds), Clark Gayton (trombone), and Bernstein (trumpet, slide trumpet).
