David Murray live in New York

Experience David Murray live on September 13th

David Murray will be performing at the Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City on September 13, 2026. Murray is a highly influential tenor saxophonist known for his expansive and energetic improvisations rooted in the post-bop tradition, yet frequently incorporating elements of avant-garde jazz, blues, and world music – particularly influences from African and Middle Eastern musical forms. His playing is characterized by a robust tone, complex harmonic ideas, and a deeply expressive approach to melody. He has released numerous albums as a leader and sideman since the 1970s, consistently pushing the boundaries of jazz expression.

The Blue Note Jazz Club, located in Greenwich Village, has been a cornerstone of the New York City jazz scene since its founding in 1981. However, its history extends further back; the original Blue Note record label was established in 1939 and became renowned for documenting many iconic jazz musicians. The club itself occupies a space that previously housed several other venues with musical histories. It’s recognized for its intimate setting and consistently features both established artists and emerging talent, maintaining a strong connection to the legacy of jazz while also embracing contemporary sounds.
