Nate Jones Septet
About This Event
At Smalls Jazz Club the Nate Jones Septet is led by bassist-producer Nate Jones, whose studio and stage credits include Stevie Wonder and Jay Z and who has worked on film and television recording projects; the group emphasizes ensemble balance and clear internal counterpoint over solo-driven display. The bill also features the Sophia Kickhofel Quartet, a conservatory-trained, saxophone-led ensemble that foregrounds phrasing and interplay in small-room settings.
