In Studio: Colin Stetson

Soundcheck | Mar 31, 2011

Montreal-based bass saxophonist Colin Stetson has played sideman to Arcade Fire, David Byrne, Tom Waits and many others. Now, he’s stepping out into the spotlight. With just one saxophone, he uses circular breathing technique to create a complex, layered sound that is, well, breathtaking. He joins us in studio to perform from his recent release: New History Warfare Vol. 2: Judges.

Colin Stetson will join LCD Soundsystem on Saturday, April 2nd at Madison Square Garden, and will bring his solo set to Glasslands on April 17th. More information here.
