Joel Ross’s Good Vibes Quintet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Joel Ross’s Good Vibes Quintet

Joel Ross’s Good Vibes Quintet centers on the Brooklyn-based vibraphonist whose early playing was shaped in his father’s church in Chicago before he emerged as a Blue Note artist. The group brings Ross’s working bandbook to New York City stages, including sets at Smoke Jazz & Supper Club. Their music sits in modern jazz with traces of gospel-rooted harmony. Ross’s approach favors clean lines and attentive ensemble balance over display, leaving space for the band to articulate the details.
