    About This Event

    Mike Lee brings his working quintet to Smalls Jazz Club. Rooted in New York’s apprenticeship model, Lee’s playing privileges structure, swing and group interplay over solo display; the quintet frames his lines in close conversation with the rhythm section and front line. Their small-room approach emphasizes tone, time and collective listening.
