Miguel Zenón: Jazz Musician in New York

About Miguel Zenón

Miguel Zenón is a Puerto Rican alto saxophonist and composer whose work moves between modern jazz language and the rhythmic logic of Caribbean music. Based in the U.S. scene and active as a bandleader, producer, and educator, he has led the Miguel Zenón Quartet while also appearing in settings like the Bill Charlap Trio and Joe Lovano’s groups. His honors include a Grammy Award along with major fellowships and arts prizes. In New York City, his performances at Smoke Jazz & Supper Club favor structure and detail over spectacle.
