David Gibson Quintet
Jazzcultural347 West 46th Street, New York 10036
Trombonist David Gibson leads a quintet at Jazzcultural with Cameron Campbell on piano, Joseph Lepore on bass, Jay Sawyer on drums and Troy Roberts on tenor saxophone. The performance will also stream live.
Oklahoma-raised, Gibson built his career in New York’s jazz scene as a composer and bandleader. A 2003 finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Trombone Competition, he has performed with Slide Hampton, Jon Faddis, Roy Hargrove, Jimmy Heath and James Moody. Curtis Fuller called him “one of very few who speaks the language of jazz.”
Jazzcultural offers a distinctive live music experience in Manhattan, housed in a space that invites close connection between performers and audience. The venue features a modestly sized room where the sound carries clearly, allowing even those at the back to catch the nuances of each set. Seating is available but limited, encouraging an attentive listening environment without the distraction of a bustling bar scene. The venue operates with ticketed shows, often featuring multiple sets that stretch into the late evening, giving you a full night of music. While there is a bar, the focus remains on the performances, making it a place to immerse yourself in the artistry of jazz. The neighborhood adds a quiet charm, making the walk to and from the venue part of the evening’s rhythm.
