Experience David Murray live on September 12th

David Murray will perform at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City on September 12, 2026. Murray is a highly influential tenor saxophonist known for his expansive and energetic improvisations rooted in the avant-garde jazz tradition, yet deeply informed by blues and gospel music. His style often incorporates polytonality, extended techniques, and a robust tone, drawing comparisons to both John Coltrane and Albert Ayler while forging a distinctly personal sound. Throughout his career, he has explored diverse musical territories including collaborations spanning various genres.

The Blue Note Jazz Club, located in Greenwich Village, Manhattan, has been a cornerstone of the jazz world since its founding in 1981. Though the current location opened then, a previous iteration of the Blue Note operated from 1959-1977 and hosted legendary performers like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, and Thelonious Monk. The club is renowned for its intimate atmosphere and consistently presents internationally acclaimed jazz artists. It’s become notable for live recordings and broadcasts contributing to its legacy within jazz history.
