What legendary saxophonist Dave Koz has to say about Steve World Vol. 1: "It’s so hard to come up with something completely new when it comes to saxophone driven music these days…but these tracks carve a new path...The instrumentation, interplay and approach provides something truly fresh in this world. Trash Magic was my favorite—that’s a big smile!" - Dave Koz See Saxophonist Steve Frieder on 2/24 at Quinn’s to celebrate the release of Steve World Vol. 1. He will be joined by Christopher James Talio on Guitar, Bryan Kopchak on Drums and James Robbins on Bass. Pushing back against the trend of the "clean-funk" sound that permeates the contemporary genre Steve World Vol. 1 presents something more risky, dirty and punchy. Frieder's throwback style of saxophone playing is aggressive, percussive and fun, something that grabs your ear immediately. Frieder's music on this EP exemplifies the spirit of improvisation. Mostly recorded live to tape, we get the feeling of a band not sterilized by isolation and perfected by multiple takes.
