Jerome Gillespie Quintet
About This Event
Jerome Gillespie Quintet appears at Smalls Jazz Club alongside New York–based Rico Jones and his quartet. Jones’s playing, often heard in Smalls’s close quarters, favors structure over showmanship: tight ensemble conversation, patient solo development, and an emphasis on time, dynamics and the rhythm section’s role in shaping the narrative.
