The Andrew Sterman Group is coming to Joe’s Pub to celebrate the release of The Path To Peace, a CD with music inspired by the inner journey of Mahatma Gandhi. Sterman’s music is perfect for the task, combining warmth of heart, powerful written grooves and his unique tenor saxophone voice. Sterman’s saxophone playing, using a yogic flow of breath through the horn, creates a human storytelling as fresh as it is deep. This is music as a healing force, following Gandhi’s extraordinary life in a suite of eight pieces. In Sterman's music, traces of classic American song, contemporary composition, free jazz, world music and many other influences come together to create a unique and deeply moving whole.  Sterman has performed with a huge variety of major artists, including Frank Sinatra, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, Aretha Franklin, Rashied Ali, and of course is well known for his work in the Philip Glass Ensemble. On March 1st, Sterman will perform from “The Path To Peace” and a surprise preview of the next album, with his group of superb musicians.
