    About This Event

    At Smalls Jazz Club, the Alexander McCabe Quartet offers sets built for close listening, working in the small-group club tradition where the bandstand serves as rehearsal and performance. McCabe emphasizes ensemble balance and clear melodic lines; his solos develop through motif rather than display, and the quartet's rotating lineups and night-to-night variations keep the interaction conversational and precise.
