Rob Garcia Sizzle Ensemble
About This Event
Drummer Rob Garcia leads the Sizzle Ensemble at Smalls Jazz Club, playing with a band‑first approach built on precise time and close listening. Garcia, a regular in New York rooms including Barbès, has worked with bassist Jim Whitney, guitarist Brad Shepik and keyboardist Bennett Paster; his playing favors shaping the band’s dynamics from the drum chair rather than display.
