In February 2016, Frank's first LP, Meantime was released by the Newvelle label. It features his trio with bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Jeff Hirshfield, with compositions by Annette Peacock, Paul Motian, Andrew Hill, George Gershwin, Maryanne de Prophetis, Maria Schneider, Carla Bley, and one new original. In November 2016, Solstice, Frank's debut on the Pirouet label will be released. Frank’s playing has been recognized by his inclusion in the Downbeat Critics Poll each year since 2001, and his recordings are often included in jazz critics' year's-end top-ten lists. He continues to perform solo concerts and with his trio, and is otherwise in demand as a sideman. Frank was a founding member and composer-in-residence of the Jazz Composers Collective (1992 - 2005), and played in nearly twenty of its associated groups. He has recorded as a leader for Pirouet, Newvelle, Palmetto, OmniTone, Soul Note, Igmod, and Mapleshade. Pianist/composer Frank Kimbrough has been active on the New York jazz scene for 35 years.
