Michael Sarin: Jazz Musician in New York

About Michael Sarin

Michael Towne Sarin is a jazz drummer associated with New York City’s avant‑garde and free‑music circles. At Bar Bayeux, he appears both as a sideman in Caleb Wheeler Curtis’s open‑form quintet and as a leader, shaping sets that rely on quick changes in texture and group listening. His collaborations include Emmanuel Michael, Hery Paz, Colson Jimenez, Leo Traversa, Fima Ephron, Jerome Harris, and Michael Blake. Sarin’s playing tends to privilege ensemble motion over display, keeping the music porous and responsive.
