Richard Sussman Quintet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Richard Sussman Quintet

Richard Sussman Quintet is a small-group jazz project led by pianist and composer Richard Sussman, heard in New York City settings such as Smalls Jazz Club. Working in the orbit of cool jazz, the ensemble favors clean lines, patient swing, and room for conversation between players. The group’s performances are built on close listening and quick, understated shifts in texture rather than dramatic gestures. On streaming platforms, it sits in the niche category of cool jazz, with a modest but specific audience.
