Eliot Zigmund Quintet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Eliot Zigmund Quintet

The Eliot Zigmund Quintet is a New York City jazz group heard at Smalls Jazz Club, where its sets unfold in the close quarters of a working room. Led in association with drummer Eliot Zigmund, the quintet draws on the bandstand tradition of small-group jazz: concise themes, open improvisation, and tight ensemble turns. The playing favors time and detail over spectacle, with solos that stay in conversation rather than drifting into display. Their appearances are billed simply as “Eliot Zigmund Quintet,” emphasizing the music over the occasion.
