Alex Minasian Quartet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Alex Minasian Quartet

The Alex Minasian Quartet is a jazz group heard in New York City clubs, including sets at Smalls Jazz Club. Centered on pianist and bandleader Alex Minasian, the ensemble works in the small-group tradition where arranged themes leave room for open improvisation. Their performances emphasize interplay and pacing, with individual solos shaped by attentive accompaniment rather than display. The Quartet is typically billed under its leader’s name, reflecting a working-band format common to the city’s modern jazz circuit.
