Tenor Titans! The Wayne Escoffery & Jimmy Greeen Quintet featuring Buster Williams & Lenny White
Smoke Jazz Club2751 Broadway, New York 10025
Tenor Titans! brings the Wayne Escoffery & Jimmy Greeen Quintet to Smoke Jazz Club, with Buster Williams and Lenny White featured in the billed group. The event is presented under the Tenor Titans! title and is listed as a quintet performance, placing Escoffery and Greeen at the front of the announced billing. It takes place at Smoke, the Manhattan jazz club whose two connected rooms include a dedicated listening space built around close attention to the music and clear acoustics.
The available material identifies the billed musicians, but provides no biographical background for this particular group. No venue listing text, social post, or search result was supplied to establish where Escoffery, Greeen, Williams, or White come from, their previous collaborations, recordings, or critical reception. The information does make clear that this is a specifically named quintet date, with Williams and White singled out as featured members rather than simply appearing in an otherwise unspecified program. That billing is the available account of the night’s personnel and format.
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.
