Tim Armacost Quintet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Tim Armacost Quintet

Tim Armacost Quintet is a working jazz ensemble led by saxophonist and composer Tim Armacost, a longtime presence on the New York City scene. The group’s book draws on Armacost’s writing and bandleading, shaped by years of listening, study, and bandstand experience. At Smalls Jazz Club, they operate in the club tradition: tight forms, open solos, and quick shifts in feel. Their performances favor narrative pacing over display, with the saxophone often steering the set’s logic.
