    About Adam Cruz

    Adam Cruz is a New York City–based jazz drummer whose work centers on steady time, careful dynamics, and close listening. At Smalls Jazz Club he appears with ensembles such as the Eliot Zigmund Quintet, joining another drummer-led front line in a format that highlights form and interaction. Cruz has also performed with the Adam Cruz Quartet and groups led by Eliot Zigmund, including the Zigmund Quintet, as well as the Savage & Smit Quintet. His playing tends to favor clarity over spectacle, with a subtle Latin-jazz undercurrent.
