"...a post-bop tenor saxophonist with a deft and assertive command." -- The New York Times

A regular on the New York City club circuit, Joel Frahm has appeared alongside musicians such as Brad Mehldau, Bill Charlap and Matt Wilson and has recorded with Diane Schuur, Kurt Elling, Jane Monheit and other top jazz artists. Fans know him for his big tenor sound -- fluid, inventive and filled with passion. Downbeat Magazine's critics' poll has named him a rising star.

Joel has appeared on seven recordings as a leader, including the critically-acclaimed "Don't Explain," a duo with pi​anist Brad Mehldau. He also can be heard on dozens of other recordings as a sideman.
