As a jazz composer, Austerlitz weds his backgrounds in jazz and ethnomusicology, producing works that incorporate the music that he researches. He is especially active in blending Afro-Caribbean music with free forms of jazz, and in initiatives using music in the struggle for social justice. As an instrumentalist, Austerlitz has dedicated himself to mastering the bass and contrabass clarinets. He also plays Bb (soprano) clarinet and tenor saxophone. He has performed with such musicians as Ed Blackwell, Doc Cheatham, Davis Murray, Don Byron, Jimmy Knepper, and Julius Hemphill.
