Steven Lugerner Quartet

Local saxophonist Steven Lugerner fronts his San Francisco based quartet, delivering dynamic renditions of Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk & more! In a relatively short period of time, 37-year-old Bay Area native Steven Lugerner has released multiple albums to critical acclaim and collaborated with a heavyweight roster of jazz masters including, legendary pianist Fred Hersch, Grammy award winning pianist Taylor Eigsti, drum legends Albert Tootie Heath, Eric Harland, Matt Wilson and Allison Miller; saxophonists Dayna Stephens and Anat Cohen and bassist Todd Sickafoose. The New York Times has called him “an impeccably trained multi- reedist,”  and The San Francisco Examiner has praised “Lugerner’s approach to making music is very much his own; and he seems to be pursuing it to impressive advantage.” He is the Director of Educational and Festival Programming at the Stanford Jazz Workshop, and also the founder of Slow & Steady Records, a non-profit record label dedicated to showcasing west coast creative artists.
