Joe Locke: Jazz Musician in New York

About Joe Locke

Joe Locke is a jazz vibraphonist whose work is often heard in small-group settings built on conversation and time. In New York City, he appears at Smoke Jazz & Supper Club, including performances with the Steve Wilson Quintet alongside pianist Renee Rosnes. Locke’s credits include collaborations with Steve Wilson in both quintet and other configurations. His playing tends to favor ensemble interplay over display, shaping lines that sit inside the band rather than in front of it.
