Aaron Kaufman-Levine is a Chicago based saxophonist, composer, improviser and curator. His work ranges from long-form improvised music to intricate through-composed music and often somewhere in between. His personal practice explores a multitude of studied and extended saxophone techniques and ideas, investigating how the saxophone can be an extension of the human voice. Aaron’s music is intricately made through new compositional and improvisational forms: new musical languages stemming from systems of numbers, letters, colors, contours and cycles. He leads the Aaron Kaufman-Levine Quartet, focused on musical freedom, clarity and decisiveness by mixing clear modular composition with free improvisation and jazz sensibilities. The group has played at the Chicago Jazz Festival, Constellation, Navy Pier Lake Stage, the Logan Center at UChicago and more.
