82 Days CD

Nathanson established a high profile with the Jazz Passengers, a daring ensemble whose modernistic approach -- Blondie's Deborah Harry recorded and toured with them, becoming a regular member; Elvis Costello, Jeff Buckley, and Mavis Staples guested on recordings -- awed audiences and thrilled critics. Even before that, Nathanson, who had studied saxophone with the great Jimmy Heath, was a member of John Lurie's downtown stalwarts the Lounge Lizards and performed with several other outfits. He has also led his own quartet, acted in films, and in 2007, established an educational program for high school students, entitled "Subway Moon".
82 Days features Isaiah Barr (founder of the Onyx Collecive) and Nick Hakim.
