Carlos Abadie’s Sugar Hill BAMTET is a New York City–based jazz group heard in club settings like Smalls Jazz Club, where the band has appeared in jam-session contexts such as “Jam Session Hosted by Ben Barnett.” The ensemble’s work sits inside the city’s late-night tradition of rotating lineups and on-the-spot arranging. Abadie has shared stages with players including Andrew Kushnir, Steve Nelson, Ryo Sasaki, Adam Ray, Jason Clotter, and David Sandman, folding those collaborations into the band’s book. Their performances favor tight ensemble focus over spectacle.
