Anthony Wonsey Quintet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Anthony Wonsey Quintet

The Anthony Wonsey Quintet is a jazz ensemble led by pianist Anthony Wonsey, a bandleader who also appears in smaller formats such as the Anthony Wonsey Quartet. In New York City, the group is associated with sets at Smalls Jazz Club, where the room’s close quarters suit their conversational interplay. Their book moves between Wonsey originals and jazz standards, treated as frameworks for ensemble problem-solving. The performances tend to favor structure and rhythmic clarity over spectacle.
