Hamptons JazzFest presents Steven Bernstein & Sexmob @ 30 at the Parrish Art Museum — a 30th anniversary celebration of one of jazz’s most adventurous and enduring quartets.
Featured Artists:
Steven Bernstein – slide trumpet
Briggan Krauss – alto/baritone saxophone
Tony Scherr – bass
Kenny Wollesen – drums
Formed in 1996 out of a weekly residency at New York’s Knitting Factory, Sexmob has spent three decades exploding preconceived notions of what an instrumental jazz band can be. Their music blends jazz, improvisation, and influences drawn from across musical traditions, driven by raw groove, swing, and an uproarious sense of fun — all while maintaining high musical standards.
From their 1998 debut onward, the quartet has built one of the truly enduring artistic bonds in contemporary jazz — a chemistry that retains every bit of its freshness and capacity for surprise thirty years on.
