About Joel Ross

Joel Ross is a jazz vibraphonist based in Brooklyn, with roots in Chicago where he first played music in his father’s church and built formal training through school and college programs. After moving to New York City, he established himself on the professional scene and became a Blue Note Records artist. At the Village Vanguard he appears with Joel Ross’ Good Vibes, a working band that reflects his steady presence in the city’s club circuit. His playing tends toward clean lines and careful ensemble balance rather than showmanship.
