Joe Locke: Jazz Musician in New York

About Joe Locke

Joe Locke is a jazz vibraphonist whose work is often heard in ensemble settings, where the instrument functions as both color and counterline. In New York City he appears at Smoke Jazz & Supper Club, including performances with the Steve Wilson Quintet alongside pianist Renee Rosnes. Locke has collaborated with Steve Wilson in multiple configurations, moving easily between featured soloist and supporting voice. His playing tends to favor conversation and internal rhythm over overt display.
