Joel Frahm is celebrated as a modern icon of the tenor saxophone, known for his emotional projection, humour and technical prowess. In a career spanning 35 years, Frahm has worked extensively as a sideman with jazz luminaries such as Brad Mehldau, Matt Wilson, Jane Monheit, and Ari Hoenig, solidifying his status as one of the most important and exciting players of our time.
Recently, Frahm has shifted his full focus to bandleading and composing, resulting in a literal flurry of new compositions over the past five years. Many of these pieces are featured on Lumination as well as his previous album, The Bright Side. This creative renaissance is part of a seismic shift in Frahm’s life, which also includes his recent move from Nashville to Texas, where he now teaches full-time at Texas State University.
Fee-based parking is available at the N. Edward Gary St. Garage by the Performing Arts Center.
