Steve Lantner brings the disparate natures of a wide range of musical styles - free improvisation, jazz, contemporary chamber and microtonal music - together to create an all encompassing voice that is uniquely his.

He is known for his originality, energy, versatility and a style that places melody and harmony back on the improviser's palette alongside texture, velocity and abstraction.

Part of his pursuit is to find a new language that embraces the deep traditions of Jazz without picking one side or the other in its dichotomy - to establish a style that embraces the breadth of all the developments at our disposal.
