Nate Jones Septet
About This Event
At Smalls Jazz Club the Nate Jones Septet — led by bassist and producer Nate Jones, whose studio and stage credits include work with Stevie Wonder and Jay Z — presents original writing that privileges ensemble balance and internal counterpoint over solo-driven spectacle. The bill also includes the Sophia Kickhofel Quartet, a saxophonist-led group rooted in conservatory training and the city's modern-jazz vocabulary, where phrasing and real-time interplay shape sets of standards and originals.
