John Chin Quintet

The John Chin Quintet performs at Flushing Town Hall as part of Carnegie Hall’s Neighborhood Concert on Friday, January 15.

John Chin has been a fixture on the New York jazz scene since 1998 and was introduced to the piano at age four. John has performed internationally as a leader and sideman, at many major festivals, as well as some of America’s most important and storied jazz rooms. He has shared the stage with Ron Carter, Benny Golson, Jaimeo Brown, Mark Turner, Dayna Stephens, Irvin Mayfield, Joel Frahm, John Ellis, Chris Cheek, and Ari Hoenig, among many others. Chin is a prolific composer, drawing inspiration from the jazz, pop, and western classical traditions.

Hot House Magazine said, “As a pianist, Chin is chameleon-like: pointillist and abstract at one juncture, gnarly or bluesy at another.”
