“Cuban-American alto saxophonist David Leon not only arrives fully-formed on his first record, but his extroversion feels like a natural part of his musical personality, spiking his agile post-bop with nifty conceptual brio that never gets in the way of his desire to communicate.” --Peter Margasak, The Quietus
“A powerful and rewarding listen, Aire De Agua documents an initial upsweep of what promises to be the long elegant arc of David Leon’s career. The creative energy and humanity behind each composition—scripted and spontaneous—kindles an inexhaustible motivation to refine his voice and elevate his craft.” --Kris Davis, from the liner notes for Aire De Agua
David Leon is a Cuban-American saxophonist, woodwinds player, and composer/improviser living in Brooklyn, New York. His diverse musical output is guided by an exploration of nuance: in timbre by creatively manipulating saxophone technique, in pitch by tampering with equal temperament and employing microtonality, and in texture possibility through orchestration and improvisation.
