    About This Event

    Bassist Tyler Mitchell hosts the Afternoon Jam Session at Smalls Jazz Club, working from a practice shaped by studies with Donald Raphael Garrett and Malachi Favors. His work moves between straight‑ahead tradition and the avant‑garde; he has recorded and toured widely, appeared on Grammy‑nominated sessions and at the Village Vanguard, and favors time, tone and responsiveness over display—qualities he brings to the session.
