Lenny Pickett

Sunday, December 10, 19898:00 pm

Solo reeds and tape. Bad Dreams, the multi-instrumentalist’s music for choreographer Bebe Miller’s Big Sleep.


Lenny Pickett is a current member of the Saturday Night Live band and a long-time leader of the Tower of Power horn section. During the ’70s, the Tower of Power was the dominant session horn group, cutting their own successful R&B/funk/pop records and backing a host of stars from Elton John to many soul and R&B acts. Pickett continued with the group until the mid-’80s, then made a solo release as a leader. He is a stirring, blues-laden player who functions best doing short, tart solos in the middle of R&B/blues/pop pieces, but not a jazz player in the conventional sense. –Bio as of 2019
