Gary Versace: Jazz Musician in New York

About Gary Versace

Gary Versace is a New York–based jazz musician known for work that moves easily between straight-ahead settings and freer improvisation. He appears at NYC rooms such as Bar Bayeux, where he joins drummer Rob Garcia’s Sizzle Ensemble alongside saxophonist Noah Preminger and bassist Kim Cass. Versace often works in small groups that depend on close attention to dynamics and time. His playing tends to favor structure and clear voicings over display, even when the music opens up.
