The Jazz Gallery ONLINE Presents The Trap Music Orchestra // Livestream 2nd Set
The Jazz Gallery1160 Broadway, New York 10001
The Trap Music Orchestra's second set is livestreamed from The Jazz Gallery. Founded by Ryan Easter in 2014, the orchestra brings trap music into an orchestral framework, connecting Black diasporic musical lineages with influences ranging from disco and Panamanian folk music to Debussy and Earth, Wind, & Fire.
The group has been described as "equal parts time capsule, mosaic, lecture and party," with an approach that traces the ties of influence running through the music it draws on.
The Jazz Gallery offers a focused listening room experience on the fifth floor of a Midtown office building, where the audience gathers to hear progressive jazz performed by emerging and established artists. The space is designed to highlight the music without distractions: seating is arranged to bring listeners close to the performers, fostering a direct connection with the sound. There is no food service, but a bar is available, and ticket prices are modest, encouraging accessibility. Shows typically run from 7 to 11 pm on select nights, featuring multiple sets that invite deep engagement rather than casual socializing. The venue’s commitment to artistic growth is evident in its support for new compositions and collaborations, making an evening here a chance to witness jazz as a living, evolving art form in a setting that respects both the musicians and the audience.
