    About This Event

    Drummer and composer Mike Clark, whose profile sharpened in the early 1970s through work with Herbie Hancock that fused jazz and funk into tightly engineered grooves, leads the Mike Clark Quartet at Smalls Jazz Club. Clark’s playing favors precision over display; in quartet settings he foregrounds rhythmic architecture and close interplay rather than solo pyrotechnics.
