Steffen Land is a graduate student at UO working towards a master's degree in education to become a high school math teacher. He is also a passionate jazz saxophonist, having started playing the saxophone at age nine and continuing to the present. He has played with UO's jazz groups for five years and loves playing at local jams or gigs when he can. For his second performance as a leader, Steffen wants to pay tribute to the great Joe Henderson, an idol who has helped see past some of the barriers of improvisation.
