Smalls Afternoon Jam Session Hosted by Andrew Kushnir: Jazz Musician in New York

About Smalls Afternoon Jam Session Hosted by Andrew Kushnir

Smalls Afternoon Jam Session Hosted by Andrew Kushnir is a recurring live jazz set at Smalls Jazz Club in Greenwich Village, built around the club’s long-running jam tradition. Kushnir leads the room with a working musician’s attention to tempo, keys, and etiquette, keeping the handoffs between players clear. The format draws a mix of local regulars and visiting instrumentalists, with standards and new tunes circulating through the set. The afternoon hour favors craft over spectacle, letting the bandstand function as a classroom and a test.
