Mark Zaleski Sextet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Mark Zaleski Sextet

Mark Zaleski Sextet is a New York City jazz ensemble led by saxophonist and composer Mark Zaleski. The group works in the small-band tradition, using tight arrangements as a frame for open improvisation and shifting front-line textures. At Smalls Jazz Club, the sextet’s sets tend to favor clarity and ensemble balance over showmanship. The instrumentation allows the music to move between written figures and conversational solos, with the leader steering the form from inside the horn section.
