Miguel Zenon Quartet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Miguel Zenon Quartet

The Miguel Zenón Quartet is the working group of Puerto Rican alto saxophonist and composer Miguel Zenón, known for writing that tests modern jazz forms against Caribbean rhythmic structures. In New York City, the quartet is a recurring presence at the Village Vanguard, where the room’s close acoustics suit their detailed ensemble interplay. Sets often center on Zenón’s compositions, moving between tightly arranged sections and open improvisation. The music favors craft and forward motion over spectacle.
