Rico Jones: Jazz Musician in New York

About Rico Jones

Rico Jones is a New York City–based jazz musician whose work is often heard in the close quarters of Smalls Jazz Club. He leads the Rico Jones Quartet, a working unit built around small-group interplay and clear, unhurried phrasing. Jones’s approach favors structure over showmanship, leaving space for the rhythm section to shape the narrative. Recent listings under the title “Rico Jones Quartet” place him squarely in the city’s late-night club circuit, where repertoire and rapport matter as much as solos.
