Some Current Trends in Contemporary Classical Music: An Improviser's Guide We're thrilled to welcome back saxophonist and composer Steve Lehman for a special guest post detailing some of the recent contemporary classical music that's influenced and inspired his work. It's a sonic world that's new to us and we hope you'll be as intrigued by this selective overview as we are. Most mentions of so-called contemporary classical music in the (jazz) blog-o-sphere tend to focus on people like Philip Glass, Steve Reich, and Milton Babbitt, and their work from the 1950s and 1960s.
