The Outside In

The Outside In isn’t your grandma’s modern jazz band. Soaring melodies, passionate solos, head-banging grooves, intimate and reflective ballads all define the music, largely composed by pianist Ethan Ostrow. The band can be described as a blend between the Brian Blade Fellowship, Snarky Puppy, the Pat Metheny Group, and something completely new. Featuring some of the most exciting up-and-coming musicians in New York, they are quickly establishing themselves with their deep, lush, and powerful sound. The Outside In performs regularly throughout NYC, and is releasing their debut album “The Outside In: Live in Brooklyn”featuring Dayna Stephens on April 17th.Coming to an Outside In show, you’ll find yourself banging your head to a heavy breakdown, moving your feet to something funky, or in a state of quiet nostalgia. Be prepared for a diverse spectrum of textures and feelings, and for an experimental journey through soulful and emotional compositions. Make sure to bring comfortable shoes.Members of the band have performed/recorded with: Darren Criss, The Manhattan Transfer, Cory Henry, Preyé Odede, Johnny “baceface” Ayoub, Wycliffe Gordon, Cassandra O’Neal, Dayna Stephens, Ingrid Jensen, Kendrick Scott, Donny McCaslin, Jon Irabagon, Gentleman Brawlers, and more.
