This is bound to be an epic show to start off the new season at The Lower Bar!
Inspired as much by Lester Young as he is by Robert Glasper, saxophonist/composer Jonathan Greenstein’s soft voice is as passionate as it is emotional, as corporeal as it is a dream.
“Delicate and haunting”…”It’s intelligent in its complexity… it’s intelligent in its accessibility” – Archaic Pop
“A rich and inviting tone” – Jazzweekly
“Here’s a vision we can appreciate” – The Midwest Record
Arriving at a distinctive sound that’s relevant to the wider music audience, Greenstein’s beat emphasizes song, lyricism and space. It is soulfully sophisticated, a sound between nostalgia and forward motion. For Greenstein, it’s bigger than Jazz, and he’s on a mission to bring the people with him.
“Real feeling of gravitas, beauty and depth… Truly mesmerizing” – Mike Sims, A Slice Of Jazz
“A great saxophonist … Contemporary jazz at its best” – Ruth Fisher, Notes & Tones
Jonathan’s new EP – Vol 2 is out now and made Spotify’s “State of Jazz” playlist on its first weekend. With 4 originals and a cover of James Blake’s “Retrograde”, it offers a 20 minute musical adventure filled with thought, emotion and inspiration.
