== Career ==
After attending Hattiesburg High School, in [[Hattiesburg, Mississippi]], Wiest completed a bachelor's degree in Jazz Studies at the University of Southern Mississippi, mentored by Raoul F. Jerome. After graduation, he joined the band of Maynard Ferguson as a featured trombonist and one of two arrangers, touring five to seven months a year from 1981 to 1985.<ref name="Wiest Interview" />

In 1985, Wiest began graduate school at the [[University of North Texas College of Music|University of North Texas]], earning a master's degree in Jazz Studies in 1988.<ref name="UNT 1994 Alumni Directory" />  While there, he played lead trombone in the [[One O'Clock Lab Band]], which toured Australia in 1986 and produced one live album, and four studio albums.  Three of his compositions and one arrangement were recorded on ''Lab '86, Lab '87, and Lab '88'', and another composition was recorded on ''Lab '89'', after he graduated.  As a grad student, Wiest directed the Nine O'Clock Lab Band (1985–1986), served as an arranging [[Teaching assistant|TA]] for Paris Rutherford (1986–1987), and directed the Three O'Clock Lab Band (1987–1988).  Wiest studied trombone with Vern L. Kagarice, DMA.  Independently, Wiest also studied trombone with [[Jay Friedman]] of the [[Chicago Symphony]].

From 1988 to 1990, Wiest served as Assistant Director of Jazz Studies at the [[University of Texas at Arlington]], where, among other things, he ran the UTA Improvisation Camp and directed the Small Jazz Group Program.

For 17 years, from 1990 to 2007, Wiest was the Director of Jazz Studies and Trombone Performance at [[University of Wisconsin–Whitewater]], directing jazz ensembles, which included a standard modern [[big band]] and the university's premier jazz band: an [[Art Blakey]]-style small group called The Jazz Symposium.  He taught improvisation, music history, arranging,<ref name="JazzEd interview" /> and classical trombone.  For a number of years, Wiest was a member of the Faculty Brass Quintet

Establishing a small group, rather than a big band, as the premier jazz ensemble and intensified advanced music laboratory was a pedagogical innovation of Wiest.  The Jazz Symposium produced two [[Compact disc|CDs]], one featuring guest artist [[Ernie Watts]].  Under the direction of Wiest, The Jazz Symposium performed at the [[North Sea Jazz Festival]], the [[Montreux Jazz Festival]], and [[King's College London]]

From 1994 to 1999, Wiest was a member of the [[Doc Severinsen|Doc Severinsen Big Band]].  In 2006, Wiest reunited with [[Maynard Ferguson]] for Ferguson's final series of concerts: 6 nights, 12 sold-out performances at [[Blue Note Jazz Club|The Blue Note]], [[Greenwich Village]].

From the fall of 2007 until August 2014, Wiest was at the [[University of North Texas College of Music|University of North Texas]] as Assistant Professor of Jazz Composition and Jazz Trombone.<ref name="UNT 2007 Appointment" />  Wiest founded The U-Tubes, the [[University of North Texas College of Music|College's]] trombone band.  In May 2009, Wiest became director of [[One O'Clock Lab Band]] and coordinator of the Lab Band Program, after having served as interim director since August 2008.<ref name="Denton Chronicle May 2009" />

In 2014 Wiest joined the faculty at the [[University of Denver]] [[Lamont School of Music]] as Coordinator of the 21st Century Music Initiative. Since 2016 he has served as Co-Chair of Jazz Studies.

== 2013–2014 project ==
In August 2013, Wiest, a sci-fi enthusiast, published a [[sci-fi]] novel, ''The Dover Stone: A Concerto for Folded Space.''<ref name="Dover Stone, the book" />  Wiest explains that it is built on inter-connected [[Vignette (literature)|vignettes]] or movements that comprise an epic tale of life from other worlds and our place in the [[cosmos]].  The Term "folded space" is a theoretical speed of travel, faster than the speed of light, exceeding relativistic velocity by folding space, bringing far to near, reducing the long distances to a virtual zero. The tale is the impetus for ten compositions by Wiest, who describes the works as "[[Program music|programmatically informed]]" by the science fiction."<ref name="Wiest bio at Artistshare" />  The fictional vignettes culminate to answer real-life physicist [[Enrico Fermi]]'s famous question, "Where is everybody?", a reference to the wonderment of life elsewhere in the universe. The stories occur in periods from 1182 to 2457.<ref name="Wiest bio at Artistshare" />

The Steve Wiest Eclectic Electric Band will record the compositions as one album titled, ''Concerto for Folded Space.''  Wiest's compositional style ranges from [[straight-ahead jazz|straight ahead]] to [[jazz fusion]], and sometimes [[pop-rock]].  With this project, Wiest is experimenting with [[serialism]], not in a strict sense, but many elements are generated from [[Tone row|rows]].

The musical portion is an [[ArtistShare]] project and is scheduled for release early 2014. The band members are Wiest (composer and trombonist), Stockton Helbing (drums, producer), Braylon Lacy (bass), Ryan Davidson (guitar), Noel Johnston (guitar), and Daniel Pardo (flute).  Guest artist are [[Bob Mintzer]] (tenor sax), Arlington Jones ''(né'' Arlington Julius Jones II) (piano), and [[James Pankow]] (trombone).<ref name="Wiest bio at Artistshare" />

Essentially, [[ArtistShare]] is the record label and represents Wiest's foray into an alternative model for producing music.  [[ArtistShare]] is a [[Fan-funded music|fan-funded]] platform where artists provide content for patrons who subscribe to access levels of their choosing.  For example, on November 6, 2013, Wiest uploaded one in a series of "cool stuff", as he phrased it, to the ''Participant Zone'' of his [[ArtistShare]] ''Concerto for Folded Space'' site.  The "cool stuff" included a "[[Program music|programmatic]]" analysis and complete score for "The Flutes of Glastonbury", one of the ten compositions.

'''Other sci-fi inspired compositions'''

Other [[sci-fi]]-related works composed by Wiest include "Ice-Nine", a 2009 composition scored for big band, drawn from [[Kurt Vonnegut]]'s novel, ''[[Cat's Cradle]].''  "New Cydoinia", a 2010 big-band arrangement, is a [[Program music|programmatic]] representation of all of the theories and stories surrounding the enigmatic area on [[Mars]] known as [[Cydonia (region of Mars)|Cydonia]].  "A Night in Pidruid", a 2006 composition scored for big band, is a [[Program music|programmatic]] and thematic development of characters and events in [[Robert Silverberg]]'s ''[[Lord Valentine's Castle]].'' "Blues From Space", a 1984 composition scored for big band, is a novelty tune about an alien who brings a philosophy of "Sing the Blues" to Earth.
