Adam Cruz Quartet: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About Adam Cruz Quartet

The Adam Cruz Quartet is a New York–based jazz group heard at Smalls Jazz Club, where small-room acoustics reward careful dynamics and time. Cruz is also known for work alongside drummer Eliot Zigmund, including appearances connected to the Eliot Zigmund Quintet and projects such as the Savage & Smit Quintet. Their repertoire draws on modern jazz language with traces of Latin-jazz rhythm. The playing favors precision and close listening over display, with the rhythm section shaping the set in real time.
