Biography

New York trumpeter Steven Bernstein was music director of John Lurie's Lounge Lizards, co-leader of the trio Spanish Fly, and served as arranger and leader of the Kansas City Band (from the Robert Altman film and Verve All Stars Tour). Bernstein then began leading his own groups and recordings, as with his gritty cover band, Sex Mob, in which Bernstein plays slide trumpet(!), and the suave and impressive Diaspora Soul, released in 1999 on Tzadik. Bernstein has a variety of musical experience, from arranging the Academy Award-nominated score for the film Get Shorty, to playing and recording with artists as disparate as Tricky, Foetus, Aretha Franklin, Mel Torme, They Might Be Giants, Bootsy Collins, Don Byron, and many more.
