Wayne Escoffery Quartet
About This Event
The Wayne Escoffery Quartet appears at Smalls Jazz Club for a late-night set. Escoffery, a Grammy Award–winning saxophonist, composer and educator who performs with the Mingus Big Band and the Tom Harrell Quintet and founded the Black Art Jazz Collective, balances hard-bop drive with a more spacious, vocal-leaning phrasing and favors clarity of line and rhythmic conversation over display.
