Brent Lerman: Jazz Musician in New York

About Brent Lerman

Brent Lerman is a New York City–based jazz musician whose work moves between straight-ahead language and freer forms. At Bar Bayeux, he appears in small-group sets led by Peter Watrous, alongside Jules Gardener, Anthony Pearlman, Ben Young, and Angus Mason, in lineups that shift from night to night. The playing often turns on tempo changes and quick recalibrations of density, with Lerman listening closely for openings rather than holding the foreground. His performances favor responsiveness over display.
