Sophia Kickhofel Quartet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Sophia Kickhofel Quartet

The Sophia Kickhofel Quartet is a New York–based jazz group led by saxophonist Sophia Kickhofel, heard in small-room settings where ensemble balance matters as much as solos. The band draws on conservatory training and the working vocabulary of the city’s modern-jazz circuit, moving between standards and original material with a clear sense of form. At Smalls Jazz Club, their sets tend to foreground phrasing and interplay over showmanship, letting the tunes unfold in real time.
