Cory Weeds: Jazz Musician in New York

About Cory Weeds

Cory Weeds is a Canadian jazz saxophonist and bandleader, known equally for his work onstage and for his role running the Cellar Music Group label. In New York City he appears at Smalls Jazz Club, often in the setting of the Cory Weeds Quintet. His playing sits firmly in the straight-ahead tradition, with an emphasis on line, swing, and ensemble dialogue. Offstage, his imprint as an impresario shows in the way he organizes projects and repertory with a curator’s attention to detail.
