Live at The Statuary – Ted Chubb
Live at The Statuary is a live album by trumpeter and composer Ted Chubb, released by Circle 9 Records, documenting the sound and interaction of his working quintet in proximity to the audience.
The album features a classic quintet lineup completed by Bruce Williams, Oscar Perez, Tom DiCarlo, and Jerome Jennings, musicians who solidify a dialogue built upon the hard bop tradition, the blues, and contemporary exploration.
Recorded during sessions in March 2025 at the independent venue The Statuary in Jersey City, the repertoire balances original compositions by Chubb—influenced by his international experiences and social commitment—with revisions of the traditional jazz songbook.
The production stands out for its natural acoustic approach, capturing the architectural resonance of the space and the collective dynamics of an ensemble that prioritizes melodic narrative, swing, and direct communication over abstract complexity.
