Ay Papi: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Ay Papi

Ay Papi is a jazz group heard in New York City performance contexts, including sets at MAD Radio NYC. Their appearances have placed them alongside projects such as Jazzemundo and saxophonist Alex Raouf, including the shared bill “Jazzemundo - Alex Raouf / Ay Papi.” The group works from a small-ensemble tradition, building arrangements around tight rhythmic cues and open improvisation. Their playing favors clarity over spectacle, keeping the focus on ensemble listening and pace.
