Neal Kirkwood Big Band: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Neal Kirkwood Big Band

Neal Kirkwood Big Band is a New York City-based large ensemble working in a big band tradition with a dance-centered pulse. The group appears at ShapeShifter Lab, including performances tied to the *Future of Futurism* EP release. Its arrangements favor structure and rhythmic drive, keeping the brass-and-reed weight in motion rather than treating it as museum repertory. With a small Spotify footprint, the band reads as a local, venue-built project shaped by live-room acoustics and close listening.
