Mikey Migliore Quartet
Smalls183 West 10th Street, New York 10014
At Smalls, the Mikey Migliore Quartet brings together bassist Migliore, guitarist Leo Larratt, pianist Luther S. Allison and drummer Michael Camacho. The listing presents this as a four-piece band date rather than a themed program, release event or guest appearance, with no further repertoire or occasion announced. It is a stated lineup of bass, guitar, piano and drums, with the focus on the quartet’s live set.
Migliore is identified in the supplied material as the quartet’s bassist and leader. Beyond that, no reliable biographical account accompanies this booking: the material does not establish where he or the group comes from, their musical history, recordings, collaborators, or critical reception. It likewise offers no reviewer quotations or description of the band’s sound. Allison’s separate career details in the supplied search material are not presented as information about this quartet, so this appearance is defined by the specifically announced four-player lineup.
Smalls is a basement jazz club where the music feels immediate and unfiltered, with the stage just a few feet from the audience. The room is compact, with simple seating that encourages close listening, and a bar that serves drinks but no full kitchen, so the focus stays on the performances. Shows typically feature multiple sets, often extending late into the night with jam sessions that invite spontaneous creativity. The club’s walls are adorned with photos and memorabilia that reflect its deep roots in New York’s jazz scene. The audience is there to listen intently, creating a shared experience where every note can be savored. Expect an evening where the energy of live jazz is palpable and the musicians’ passion fills the intimate space.
