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 four albums to date.
The fifth The New York Second album is inspired by the photography of Vivian Maier, the “nanny photographer”. For this project I reconvened the Music at Night septet and added the American vibraphonist Rob Waring.
The full album Room for Other People was released in February 2025 – a number of singles are still being pre-released on Spotify.
