Larry Ham: Jazz Musician in New York

About Larry Ham

Larry Ham is a jazz pianist and bandleader heard in New York City at Smalls Jazz Club. He leads the Larry Ham/Ali Ryerson Quartet with flutist Ali Ryerson, a classically trained musician whose work spans jazz performance and education. The group’s repertoire leans on song form and ensemble interplay, with Ham shaping the set from the keyboard rather than from the front line. His playing favors clarity and forward motion over display.
