About
Lew met Thoshiko Akiyoshi in '68, when the two played together in a quartet. Eventually they married and moved to Los Angeles, where they formed the award-winning big band now known as the Toshiko Akiyoshi Jazz Orchestra. In the '80s, Lew began to get some long overdue recognition as a flutist, winning many critics' and reader's polls in Down Beat Magazine.
In 1982, he moved back to New York, which put him back into the all-important Manhattan Jazz scene. Since that move, he has developed more and more as a major force on tenor saxophone and flute, and as a recording artist (for Concord).
"Tabackin stands for a rampant strain in tenor saxophony- the full- blooded, passionate and virile...he is a tiger of a tenorman, lushly creative and sparkling with vitality." (Downbeat)
