About Dave Sewelson
Dave Sewelson is a baritone saxophonist, composer, and bandleader based in New York City's East Village. His thick, rich, grainy tone alternately bleats, roars, honks, moans, wails, and sings. He is one of the more emotionally expressive soloists on the vanguard scene. Sewelson made his New York debut with Synchro-Incity in 1979. He played with composer/saxophonist Phillip Johnston in Fast 'N' Bulbous and other projects, and is a founding member of the Microscopic Septet. Sewelson is a longtime collaborator of William Parker's and is a lifetime member of his Little Huey Creative Music Orchestra; the pair have recorded together in many settings, including the quartet that released Sewelson's Music for a Free World in 2018 and More Music for a Free World. In 2021 the saxophonist formed a quartet with lap steel guitarist Mike Neer, bassist Dave Hofstra, and drummer Bernice Brooks. Their debut album, Smooth Free Jazz, appeared in December.
