    About This Event

    Drummer Dwayne "Cook" Broadnax leads his quartet at The Django, presenting sets built on tight small-group interplay and clear rhythmic direction. Broadnax favors structure over showmanship, emphasizing dynamics, space and steady swing; the quartet’s arrangements leave room for solos without losing the thread of the groove, which suits The Django’s close-listening, small-ensemble environment.
