On Broadway Volume 5 is an album by Paul Motian and the Trio 2000 + Two released on the German Winter & Winter label in 2009. The album follows on from the first four volumes of Motian's On Broadway Series featuring features performances of Broadway show tunes.

Reception

The Allmusic review by Alex Henderson awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "In a sense, On Broadway is an ironic title for this series because Motian certainly doesn't perform standards the way they would be performed in a Broadway theatrical production; he performs them like someone who is hell-bent for hardcore jazz. On Broadway, Vol. 5 is a welcome addition to the series".
