Chris McCarthy Quartet
About This Event
Pianist Chris McCarthy brings his quartet to Smalls Jazz Club. The New York–based musician moves between straight-ahead swing and freer, open-form playing and appears regularly at Brooklyn rooms such as Bar Bayeux, where he has performed with Aubrey Johnson, Tomoko Omura, Alex LoRe, Matt Aronoff and Jay Sawyer. He shapes ensembles from the keyboard, favoring clarity and responsive interplay and using harmony and touch as structural cues.
