Joel Ross’ Good Vibes: Jazz Musician in New York

About Joel Ross’ Good Vibes

Joel Ross’ Good Vibes is the working bandstand for vibraphonist Joel Ross, built around small-group jazz and the instrument’s bright, percussive sustain. In New York City, the project is heard at the Village Vanguard, where the room’s close acoustics keep the music conversational and exposed. Ross’ background in contemporary jazz informs writing that moves between arranged motifs and open improvisation. The performances tend to favor clarity and ensemble balance over spectacle.
