Dick Griffin Big Band w/ Jordan Young: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Dick Griffin Big Band w/ Jordan Young

Dick Griffin Big Band w/ Jordan Young is a New York–based jazz ensemble heard in club settings such as Nublu, where the room’s close acoustics put the writing and section balance in plain view. The project centers on Griffin’s big-band arranging, with Young shaping the front line and pacing the set from inside the ensemble. Recent bills place the band alongside players including Ben Frank and Omer Kosar, in mixed lineups that lean toward contemporary downtown jazz. Their performances favor structure and ensemble precision over spectacle.
