Joe Lovano’s Paramount Quartet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Joe Lovano’s Paramount Quartet

Joe Lovano’s Paramount Quartet is a Joe Lovano-led jazz group heard at New York City’s Village Vanguard, extending a body of work that has also appeared under the Joe Lovano Quartet and Paramount Quartet names. Lovano is a Grammy-winning multi-instrumentalist, widely associated with the tenor saxophone and long noted in DownBeat readers’ and critics’ polls. The quartet’s sets tend to unfold as connected stories, with emphasis on ensemble listening and shared momentum rather than solo display. The repertoire often moves between modern jazz and ballad forms.
