Anthony Pearlman: Jazz Musician in New York

About Anthony Pearlman

Anthony Pearlman is a New York City–based jazz musician who works comfortably in both straight-ahead settings and freer, open-form playing. At Bar Bayeux, he appears in small-group sets led by Peter Watrous alongside Brent Lerman, Jules Gardener, Ben Young, and Angus Mason, where the ensemble moves through quick changes in tempo and density. Pearlman’s role tends to be responsive rather than showy, tracking the group’s shifts and helping shape the music’s texture in real time. His performances favor attentive listening over display.
