Jennifer Wharton’s Bonegasm
About This Event
Jennifer Wharton’s Bonegasm appears at Smalls Jazz Club, centering a small-group format around Wharton’s low-brass focus and her background in jazz, chamber and Broadway music. The billed lineup highlights that project; it has collaborated with tenor saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi and his quartet, and its sets draw on Bergonzi’s rhythmic and harmonic language while favoring clear structures and group-driven improvisation.
