Mise en Abîme is the highly-anticipated follow-up to 2009’s Travail, Transformation and Flow, by the Steve Lehman Octet. The octet is the same powerhouse ensemble featured on Travail: Mark Shim on tenor saxophone, Drew Gress on bass, Tyshawn Sorey on drums, Jonathan Finlayson on trumpet, Jose Davila on tuba, Tim Albright on trombone, and Chris Dingman on vibraphone. 

"A blast of urban futurism" was how the New York Times described Lehman's earlier work, adding that it was "hypnotic, kinetic and kaleidoscopic – and funky". Remarkably, Mise en Abîme raises the bar on all that."
