About FivePlay
FivePlay creates original music that nourishes mind and heart. Their unique style speaks to a wide audience, from savvy listeners to those hearing jazz for the first time. FivePlay’s repertoire ranges from burning post-bop, Afro-Cuban and Brazilian grooves to music set to poetry, atmospheric ballads, and extended, unusual compositions. Our four recordings have received extensive airplay both in the United States and abroad. Co-led by husband and wife team guitarist/composer Tony Corman and pianist/composer Laura Klein, the members of FivePlay are long-time musical associates who have played together in numerous and varied settings. The resulting on-stage alchemy generates adventurous, interactive and exciting performances. We frequently recruit guest performers, including quartets of flutes, clarinets, trombones, and singers, as well as individual artists who are simpatico with our vision.
