Musicians from Manhattan School of Music: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Musicians from Manhattan School of Music

Musicians from Manhattan School of Music is a shifting group of jazz performers drawn from the school’s student and alumni community in New York City. Their work is shaped by conservatory training and by collaborations that place them alongside wide-ranging ensembles and figures such as Alan Pierson, Alarm Will Sound, and members of the Steve Reich Ensemble. At venues including Park Avenue Armory, they appear in projects like *Music For 18 Musicians: Staged Variations*. Their playing tends to favor precision and ensemble listening over display.
