Nate Jones Septet
About This Event
At Smalls Jazz Club, bassist-producer Nate Jones leads his septet, placing his writing and bandleading in a room known for close listening; Jones’s credits include studio and stage work with Stevie Wonder and Jay-Z. The bill also features the Sophia Kickhofel Quartet — both groups favor ensemble balance, clear internal counterpoint and phrasing over solo-driven spectacle, moving between standards and originals.
