Saxophonist, composer, and bandleader Jimmy Greene has emerged as a positive young presence in the creative music world. Tony Hall of Jazzwise Magazine calls Greene, without doubt one of the most striking young tenors of recent years. As a composer, Greene has received several recent honors including the prestigious 2005 ASCAP / IAJE Commission in honor of Ornette Coleman. He was also named one of the 25 Young Rising Stars in Jazz by DownBeat Magazine in 1999. The Jimmy Greene Quartet Live At Smalls features a top-notch group of veteran New York players including Xavier Davis and Ugonna Okegwo (both of Tom Harrell s group) and drum legend Gregory Hutchinson.
