    About This Event

    Guitarist Chris Berger leads his quartet at Smalls Jazz Club, working in the small-group tradition and shaping standards and originals through steady ensemble interplay. Saxophonist Adam Niewood, a regular on the New York bandstand who appears both as leader and sideman, is part of the lineup; his song-forward phrasing and clean lines complement the quartet’s focus on time, tone and conversation between players.
