Steven Bernstein ResoNation Trio: NYC Album Release Show
About This Event
Trumpeter and slide-trumpeter Steven Bernstein — known for projects including The Lounge Lizards, Sex Mob, Spanish Fly and the Millennial Territory Orchestra — leads ResoNation Trio, a compact ensemble that channels his composing and arranging practice into tight structures. At National Sawdust the group presents an NYC album release show that frames improvisation within those structures, favoring clarity of line, color and rhythmic detail over overt display.
About NYC
In this program, “NYC” names a different New York: not the skyline, but the city as a set of rhythms, rooms, and working musicians. At National Sawdust, trumpeter and composer Steven Bernstein brings the ResoNation Trio for an album-release set that treats classical form as a frame for downtown instrumentation and improviser’s logic. Its premiere history isn’t a single landmark moment so much as an ongoing New York tradition of genre crossing since the late 20th century. The piece matters because it documents that continuity in real time, without pretending the boundaries were ever fixed.
