    About This Event

    Ken Fowser brings his hard-bop–rooted approach to a quartet setting at Smalls Jazz Club. Fowser, a regular in New York late‑night rooms who also leads a working sextet, moves between originals and standards, using tight written figures as a frame for open improvisation. The music favors line, structure and ensemble balance over solo display.
