David Sneider Quintet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About David Sneider Quintet

The David Sneider Quintet is a modern straight-ahead jazz group led by trumpeter and arranger John Sneider, heard regularly in New York City settings including Smalls Jazz Club. Sneider’s background as both a frontline player and a writer shapes the band’s book, with compact themes and brass voicings that sit cleanly inside the ensemble. The repertoire favors small-group interaction and clear structure, leaving room for individual statements without losing the thread. Their performances tend to value clarity over spectacle.
