Kim Lake: Jazz Musician in New York

About Kim Lake

Kim Lake is a jazz artist active in New York City’s club circuit, with performances at Nublu. In that setting she has appeared alongside Gene Lake, bassist Lonnie Plaxico, and Ethan Bailey-Gould, working in a small-ensemble format where the rhythm section’s grounding role is central. Her approach favors clarity and ensemble balance over spectacle, leaving space for line and pulse to do the work. Lake’s profile remains emerging, but her credits point to steady participation in the city’s working jazz ecology.
