the Eddie Henderson Quintet feat. Gary Bartz and Billy Hart: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About the Eddie Henderson Quintet feat. Gary Bartz and Billy Hart

The Eddie Henderson Quintet feat. Gary Bartz and Billy Hart convenes at Smoke Jazz & Supper Club in New York City, framing a Miles Davis centennial program through Henderson’s hard-bop and electric-era perspective. Henderson’s career spans work in Davis’s orbit and a long run leading small groups with a fusion-leaning vocabulary. Bartz brings decades of bandleading that crosses post-bop, funk, and rock-adjacent projects, while Hart’s drumming carries the imprint of collaborators such as Herbie Hancock and Stan Getz. The set favors ensemble conversation over display.
