Larry Banks: Jazz Musician in New York

About Larry Banks

Larry Banks is a jazz artist heard in New York City rooms such as Smalls Jazz Club, where the set list can shift with the night. He has performed with the G.I.G. Quintet, including appearances billed as “Larry Banks’ G.I.G. Quintet,” placing him in a working-band context rather than a solo showcase. On streaming platforms he registers as an emerging presence, with traces of northern soul in the way he shapes groove and phrasing. His playing favors direct statement over spectacle.
