Steve Treseler

Steve Treseler is a Seattle-based saxophonist, composer, teaching artist, and author who performs and leads creative music workshops across the U.S. DownBeat calls his music “beautifully crafted ensemble pieces—whether free, through-composed, or somewhere in between.” He and trumpeter Ingrid Jensen are co-leaders of the album Invisible Sounds on Whirlwind Recordings, a project that was featured in the New York Times and on NPR’s Jazz Night in America. Steve is the founder of Infinite Improvisation, offering creative music experiences in a variety of mediums: in-person and virtual workshops, instructional books, and digital courses, and a podcast. Treseler holds a bachelor's degree from New England Conservatory and a master's degree from University of Washington and studied with jazz legends Jerry Bergonzi, Bob Brookmeyer, George Garzone, Steve Lacy and Cuong Vu. Steve is on faculty at Seattle JazzED and the Pacific Music Institute in Honolulu.
