Greg Glassman Quintet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Greg Glassman Quintet

The Greg Glassman Quintet is a jazz group heard regularly at Smalls Jazz Club in New York City, where Glassman also leads a working jam session under his direction. The ensemble grows out of Glassman’s projects as a leader, including the Greg Glassman Quartet, and reflects his role as an organizer on the bandstand as much as a featured soloist. Their sets tend to prioritize steady time, clear cues, and practical group communication over display. The personnel often shifts, placing emerging players alongside veterans in a structured, open format.
