Santi Debriano Sextet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Santi Debriano Sextet

Santi Debriano Sextet is a small-ensemble project led by bassist, composer, and educator Santi Debriano, heard in New York City at Smalls Jazz Club. The group centers Debriano’s writing and bandleading, using the sextet format to balance composed material with open room for conversation across the front line and rhythm section. Their sound sits within modern jazz, with touches of Brazilian-inflected rhythm and harmony. The performances favor structure and listening over display, shaped by Debriano’s experience on the bandstand and in the classroom.
