Billy Mintz Quintet
About This Event
Drummer Billy Mintz leads his quintet at Smalls Jazz Club, presenting a set drawn from a working repertoire shaped for club rooms and late sets. Active in New York’s jazz and free-improvisation circles and heard alongside musicians such as Jacob Sacks, Adam Kolker and Jeremy Stratton, Mintz emphasizes listening and quick shifts in texture, often steering a group through form without foregrounding the drum kit. The ensemble favors open forms and close listening over fixed arrangements.
