Renowned saxophonist and composer, Loren Stillman, has garnered widespread acclaim for his contributions to the realm of modern jazz, earning praise from esteemed publications such as The New York Times, Downbeat Magazine, Jazziz, Jazz Times, and National Public Radio. Trained under the tutelage of jazz luminaries Lee Konitz, David Liebman, and Ted Nash, Stillman has established himself as an innovative and influential voice in the genre.

With an extensive performance history spanning the United States, Europe, and Japan, Stillman's artistry extends beyond the stage. His impressive portfolio includes collaborations with The Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra, Paul Motian Trio 2000+2, Carla Bley, John Abercrombie, and Michael Formanek: Ensemble Kolassus, among others.

Early in his musical journey, Stillman received accolades such as two Outstanding Performance Awards (1996 & 1998) and the Rising Star Jazz Artist Award (2004) from Down Beat Magazine. A scholarship recipient at both the Manhattan School of Music (1998) and The New School (2002), Stillman further solidified his standing by reaching the semifinals of the 2002 Thelonious Monk Saxophone Competition.

In recognition of his compositions, Stillman was honored with the CMA/ASCAP Award in 2005, followed by the ASCAP Young Jazz Composers Award. His original recordings, including "Going Public" (Fresh Sound 2013), "Winter Fruits" (Pirouet 2008), and "It Could Be Anything" (Fresh Sound, 2005), have received critical acclaim from prestigious outlets like The New York Times, New Yorker, BBC Jazz Review, Jazz Man Magazine, and Downbeat Magazine.

Acknowledged as one of the early and mid-career jazz masters shaping the 21st century, Stillman's achievements were highlighted by Ted Gioia in his 2017 work, "How to Listen to Jazz." Nate Chinen further recognized Stillman's impact by featuring his 2014 album, "Going Public," in the essential albums list of the 21st century in the 2018 book "Playing Changes: Jazz for the New Century."

Recent accolades include the 2022 National Endowment for the Arts ARPA grant, solidifying Stillman's position as a distinguished artist. He proudly represents Vandoren and Conn-Selmer as an endorsed artist and imparts his expertise as a Lecturer of Advanced Saxophone at UCLA's Herb Alpert School in the Global Jazz Department, in addition to his international teaching engagements.
