Leap Day Trio: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Leap Day Trio

Leap Day Trio is a small-group project rooted in jazz language and open-form improvisation, heard in New York City rooms such as Bar Bayeux. The trio brings together saxophonist and composer Jeff Lederer with bassist, vocalist, and bandleader Mimi Jones, founder of Hot Tone Music, and drummer Matt Wilson. Their sets move between written cues and spontaneous structures, with an emphasis on ensemble listening. The playing favors momentum and risk over polish, keeping the focus on real-time interaction.
