About Steve Plekan

tenor & bari saxophonist

composer, arranger

electric bassist

new york area

My goal is to make unique, orginal music which is true and inspiring for both musicians and listeners alike; music that is free and boundary stretching yet defined by both traditional and non-traditional forms and structures.

Currently I am the bassist for the rock band The Middle Eight.
