Native Soul Quartet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Native Soul Quartet

Native Soul Quartet is a jazz group heard in New York City settings that reward close listening, including sets at Smalls Jazz Club. Their work sits between straight-ahead quartet interplay and a broader palette suggested by their Spotify tagging in Native American music. They have shared the bandstand with bassist Harvie S, whose small-group writing and cueing style can place the bass in a directing role. The quartet’s performances favor clarity over spectacle, with pacing shaped in real time through ensemble dialogue.
