Misha Piatigorsky Quintet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Misha Piatigorsky Quintet

The Misha Piatigorsky Quintet is a jazz group led by pianist and bandleader Misha Piatigorsky, assembled around the small-group tradition of standards, originals, and close listening. In New York City they appear at Smalls Jazz Club, a room where arrangements are tested in real time and solos carry the narrative. The ensemble’s work draws on Piatigorsky’s experience performing with other musicians under his own name, keeping the focus on interplay rather than display. Their performances favor clarity of line and steady momentum over spectacle.
