PI Recordings 25th Anniversary Celebration New York Performances

PI Recordings marks its 25th anniversary with a live set at The Jazz Gallery, a room long tied to New York’s working-band culture. Trumpeter Jonathan Finlayson appears with the Jonathan Finlayson Quartet, placing the label’s aesthetic in the hands of a musician shaped by the city’s rehearsal spaces and late-night stages. The program frames PI’s role in documenting modern jazz as a lived, local practice rather than a brand. The music’s emphasis on structure and risk reads as a quiet argument for New York as an ongoing laboratory.
