Sexmob at 30: Jazz Musician in New York

About Sexmob at 30

Sexmob at 30 marks three decades of the New York–based project led by slide trumpeter Steven Bernstein, a band that first took shape in the Knitting Factory’s downtown ecosystem. The group is known for pulling recognizable pop material into off-kilter jazz frameworks, using humor and abrupt stylistic turns as compositional tools. At Dizzy’s Club, the anniversary set situates that irreverent approach inside a room built for close listening. The music tends to favor invention over polish, without losing the thread of song.
