    About This Event

    The Sam Yahel/Kresten Osgood Quartet—organist Sam Yahel and drummer Kresten Osgood in a working band shaped by the club tradition—performs at Smalls Jazz Club. The group leans on the classic organ‑quartet palette while allowing open, conversational improvising; Yahel's lines tend toward harmonic detail and Osgood's drumming favors quick pivots in texture and pulse, shaping groove and form from inside the band.
