    About This Event

    Tenor saxophonist and flautist Don Braden leads a quartet at Smalls Jazz Club that works in the classic horn-front-line format with piano, bass and drums. The band builds sets around open improvisation and tight ensemble response; Braden's writing leans toward post-bop and he uses the flute as a second voice, emphasizing conversation and forward motion.
