Andrew Rathbun

Toronto-born, New York-based saxophonist and composer Andrew Rathbun is at the forefront of a new generation of jazz innovators. His improvisations are at once melodic, gritty and technically stirring. His compositions are lyrical, harmonically complex and formally ambitious. There is a poetic and multi-dimensional quality to Andrew's music, which fellow saxophonist Joe Lovano has praised for its "warmth and beauty."
