Roxy Coss Quintet

GRAMMY Award-winning Saxophonist, Composer, Educator and Activist Roxy Coss has been a celebrated figure on the New York scene for the past twenty years. She is the recipient of a Downbeat Critics’ Poll "Rising Star" Award, an ASCAP Young Jazz Composer Award, Jazziz Magazine’s “Artist to Watch", and Hothouse Magazine’s “Tenor Saxophone” Award. Her latest record, Never Meet Your Heroes, came out in November 2025 (OiM). She has performed extensively around the world, headlining major festivals and venues and performing as a side musician with jazz legends. Coss and her rising star Quintet explore a multitude of textures and modalities in contemporary cross-genre artistry, while maintaining a strong foundation of swing, the blues, and improvisation from the Black American Music tradition and lineage. Coss is currently Director of Jazz Studies at Stony Brook University, President of Women In Jazz Organization (WIJO), and Co-Artistic Director of the Brubeck Jazz Summit. This performance is made possible with the support of Jazz Road, a national initiative of South Arts, which is funded by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation with additional support from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
