The New Al Grey Quintet is an album by trombonist Al Grey which was recorded and released on the Chiaroscuro label in 1988.

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "The repertoire mixes together swing standards with lesser-known jazz tunes ... The relaxed straight-ahead music flows nicely and all of the musicians (other than Durham) have their opportunities to be featured. Worth searching for".
