“To find a personal voice on more than one instrument is almost impossible, unless your name is Lew Tabackin.”
– Billy Kerr – Saxophone Journal
First Place, Flute, Swing Journal Reader’s poll, 4th year in a row!
Down Beat International Critics Poll 2010 – Flute.
Lew Tabackin, flutist and tenor saxophonist, is an artist of astonishing vision. His electrifying flute playing is at once virtuosic, primordial, cross-cultural, and passionate. His distinctive tenor sax style includes the use of wide intervals, abrupt changes of mood and tempo, and purposeful fervor, all in the service of showing the full range of possibilities of his instrument – melodically, rhythmically, and dynamically. Without copying or emulating jazz greats of the past, Mr. Tabackin has absorbed elements into his style, ultimately creating his own sound and aura.
