Steve’s CD titled “Gamma Jazz”, which combined jazz with drum ‘n bass, trip hop and jungle has received accolades from around the world. The CD featured Steve Lucas’ bass playing, complicated beat programming and dense chord structures which propelled his ten original jazz-fusion compositions, which also featured blistering guest jazz musicians.

Steve is currently at work on his latest CD which continues the synthesis of jazz technique with modern production styles such as broken beat and dubstep, as well as incorporating film orchestration harmonies learned through studies with famed Hollywood film orchestrator Scott Smalley (Batman, Mission: Impossible) and his recent Master’s degree in music compostion at York University in Toronto, Canada.
