Arthur Kell Speculation Sextet
About This Event
Bassist-composer Arthur Kell brings his Speculation Sextet to Smalls Jazz Club. The group extends ideas from Kell’s Speculation Quartet and other projects, moving between written material and open-ended sections and foregrounding ensemble listening, with the bass serving as a compositional anchor rather than a solo vehicle; Kell’s role as co-founder of Bar LunÀtico informs the band’s careful pacing and use of space.
