Joe Magnarelli Quartet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Joe Magnarelli Quartet

The Joe Magnarelli Quartet is a small-group jazz unit led by trumpeter and flugelhorn player Joe Magnarelli, heard regularly at Smalls Jazz Club in New York City. Working in the hard bop and bebop tradition, the quartet keeps the focus on frontline horn lines, tight rhythm-section interplay, and open improvisation. The club setting suits Magnarelli’s preference for direct swing and clear melodic development over spectacle. Their sets function like close-up studies in working-band craft.
