The New York Second is a Netherlands-based musical ensemble established in 2015.
It features the compositions of bandleader and pianist Harald Walkate and has released five albums to date.
The sixth The New York Second album will be released February 2026. American vibraphonist Rob Waring, who played a key role on the previous album Room for Other People, joins us again, this time in quartet setting, with Max Sergeant on drums and Lorenzo Buffa on double bass.
Six of the tracks are are played by the quartet, the remaining five are piano-vibraphone duets, where Rob and I explore the unique pairing of these two harmony instruments.
