Jochen Rueckert Quartet
About This Event
German-born drummer Jochen Rueckert, based in New York since the late 1990s and appearing on more than 120 albums with players such as Marc Copland, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Mark Turner and Pat Metheny, leads his quartet at Smalls Jazz Club. Rueckert shapes the group's material from the drums, favoring precision and forward motion over display; his electronic work (as Wolff Parkinson White) and his long-running book series of travel observations and hotel-room photographs inform his measured bandstand approach.
