Lenny Pickett

Saxophonist, composer and bandleader Lenny Pickett spent the ’70s touring with Tower of Power, and the ’80s playing and arranging with David Bowie—and he's blown into your living room every Saturday night since 1985 as the sax man with all the high notes on Saturday Night Live. Here, he heads a quintet in celebration of The Prescription, a new big-band set that encompasses glitzy funk, sentimental soul, high-energy bop and more.
