Bruce Williams Quintet
About This Event
At Smalls Jazz Club the Bruce Williams Quintet headlines a bill that also features the Domo Branch Quintet and trombonist Frank Lacy. Williams, who has listed and sold residential real estate in the Triad and Coastal Carolinas for over 22 years, fronts the group; Branch brings material from Hand of Gifts, his second album framed around gratitude, healing and remembrance, and Lacy brings a Mingus Big Band–informed trombone approach that favors structure and ensemble dialogue.
