John Van Blarcom Band: Performing Group in New York

About John Van Blarcom Band

The John Van Blarcom Band is a New York City–based ensemble heard on local stages including the Milton G. Bassin Performing Arts Center. Its members move between jazz, Afro‑Latin idioms, and concert settings, with past collaborations spanning Miguel Anggelo, the Queens College Choral Society, the Spanish Harlem Orchestra, the Queens Symphony Orchestra, Santiago Cruz, Cirque Kalabanté, and Adyjo. In programs such as the Queens Jazz Trail Concert: Brass Queens, the group works comfortably alongside large-ensemble forces and groove-driven brass traditions. Their playing favors ensemble precision over display.
