| One of the earliest and finest jazz-rock flutists, Jeremy Steig's an outstanding soloist. He's mastered the entire flute family, including bass, and also plays piccolo well. He has a similarily rich, classically pure tone and timbre like James Newton or Hubert Laws, and uses almost as many devices such as tongue fluttering, humming and swirling lines. But he's not as blues or swing oriented, and his associations include working in the early '60s with Richie Havens, and heading Jeremy And The Satyrs in 1967. |

Steig has played and recorded with a wide variety of musicians, such as Jimi Hendrix, Tim Hardin, Jim Hall, Big Joe Williams, Junior Wells, Eddie Gomez, Art Blakey, Paul Bley, Joe Chambers, Jan Hammer, Johnny Winter and Tommy Bolin. The Beastie Boys have shaped their hit Sure Shot around Steigs flute. The recent CD Pterodactyl presents music performed by a band of flutes and bottles, all of which are played by Jeremy.
