We are gyraffe

GYRAFFE is one of New York City’s newest fusion bands. Consisting of Juan Arango on guitar, Nat Jenkins on bass, and John Rogers on drums, the trio celebrates unapologetic artistic freedom and creativity.

Joined by a rotating cast of musical friends, GYRAFFE combines a foundation in jazz with elements of rock, latin music, and funk. This isn’t your Sunday-brunch jazz trio—we play with energy, experiment without limits, and embrace the art of improvisation.

Let’s get it!
