Steen was a longtime member of the Royal Crown Revue. He has performed with Cirque du Soleil, and has toured with the cast of the musical West Side Story as lead trumpeter. Steen was described as “a chameleon” by All About Jazz for his ability to play convincingly in many styles, including bop, avant-garde, blues, and boogaloo. He has performed in Los Angeles, Moscow, London, and Tokyo.
He was the featured soloist with Royal Crown Revue for Bette Midler during her Kiss My Brass tour 2003–2005. He has also performed with Brian Setzer, Mark Whitfield, Sherman Ferguson, Phil Upchurch, and Stewart Copeland.
In addition to his recordings with other groups[which?] his solo CDs include Makin’ Time and Playing Favorites. His solo project “Remembering Miles“, is a tribute to trumpeter Miles Davis, with backing from Matteo Alfonso on piano, Simone Serafini on bass, and Tommaso Cappellato on drums.
