John Sneider Quintet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About John Sneider Quintet

The John Sneider Quintet is a New York City–based jazz group led by trumpeter John Sneider, a long-time presence on the downtown and midtown club circuit. The ensemble appears at The Django, bringing small-group repertoire shaped by modern straight-ahead tradition and working-band interplay. Sneider’s career spans performance and arranging across a range of NYC bandstands, with an ear for concise melodies and clean brass voicings. The group’s sets favor clarity over spectacle, leaving space for conversation between horn and rhythm section.
