It is billed as a quartet date, while Chestnut’s presence is singled out in the show title.
The available event material identifies Alexander, his quartet, and Chestnut, but provides no further biographical notes, personnel list, prior collaborations, or critical quotations about the group. The performance takes place at Smoke Jazz Club in Manhattan, a two-room jazz venue with a dedicated listening room and adjoining bar and café space. Its program spans established artists, contemporary players, and emerging performers.
Smoke Jazz Club offers a refined evening where jazz takes center stage in a space defined by its candlelit tables, plush red velvet curtains, exposed brick walls, and antique chandeliers. The club spans two connected rooms: one designed for focused listening with impeccable acoustics and iconic jazz photography, and a second lounge featuring a historic full-length bar and café seating. Guests can enjoy classic American cuisine during the first set, which begins at 7pm, creating a supper club experience that blends dining with world-class performances. The venue showcases a mix of legendary artists, contemporary masters, and emerging talents, making each night a unique encounter with jazz artistry. The recent expansion has enhanced comfort without losing the close proximity to the stage that defines the club’s appeal.
