Movie - Jeremy Steig Official Site

Jeremy Steig
Live in New York

For about five years, starting in 2003, Jeremy Steig played monthly at the Cornelia Street Cafe in the West Village (The Café closed in 2019). Known at the time as a hot spot for live jazz, it was less than a five-minute walk from Jeremy’s apartment, which was a block west of Washington Square.

The videos we present here were shot on his Handy Cam. The club was a long, narrow space, and the camera was placed in a “place you can put it” near the entrance across the seating area from the stage. As such, the voices of the audience seated around us are included, as well as shadows of the waiters walking between the seats. Because cassettes were still used back then, some videos have only a limited level of fidelity.

However, this site is the only place where you can watch live recordings of Jeremy in New York in the 21st-century, on another level as a veteran flutist. Please also enjoy the outstanding performances by the masterful band members.

More videos will be uploaded toward the 10th anniversary of Jeremy’s passing in 2026.
