JodyJazz Ad Features Loren Stillman (From DownBeat June 2008)
Saxophonist and composer, Loren Stillman, from Brooklyn New York, is hailed as “a writer and a stylist that has found a previously unoccupied slot in the jazz spectrum.” (Jazz Review UK 2004) Stillman has been recognized as one of today’s truly original creative voices by The New York Times, Downbeat Magazine, Jazziz, Jazz-Times and National Public Radio. A former student of Lee Konitz and David Liebman, he has performed and recorded throughout the United States, Europe and Japan with his own ensembles, and with those led by Charlie Haden, Paul Motian Trio 2000+1, Carla Bley, John Abercrombie, Andy Milne’s DAPP Theory, Michele Rosewoman Quintessence, Joe Lovano, Eivind Opsvik, John McNeil, Tyshawn Sorey, Vic Juris and The Vanguard Jazz Orchestra.
Reviews
"Loren Stillman is one of New York’s best alto saxophonists, and has gained the distinction well before reaching age 30….Stillman can evoke the lyrical alto of Lee Konitz and the multi-phonic attack of the post-Coltrane tenors. You’ll never hear a stock lick even over the most lick-friendly tunes."
-David Adler, JazzTimes Magazine, April 2007

"His future, in my opinion, is so bright it’s almost blinding. If he follows that light through, we will benefit from his creative exploration along with him. I love this beautiful world of music we live in. It has given us another wondrous gift: Loren Stillman."
- -Joe Lovano, 1997
"Loren Stillman a 21-year old from Croton-on-Hudson, NY, hears it (jazz) as a rare, exotic form whose notes inflate and wilt and trill, almost a kind of meditation on texture."
- -Ben Ratliff of the NY Times, February 2002.
