About This Event
Saxophonist and composer Michael Blake brings his long-running quartet to The Django. A fixture of New York’s downtown scene, Blake moves between small-group improvisation and larger compositional projects; his quartet—described at Smalls as a working band—shapes sets around close listening and quick shifts in texture, favoring structural frameworks that leave room for the rough edges of live interplay.
