Milton Suggs Quartet
Mezzrow161 West 10th Street, New York 10014
Milton Suggs brings his quartet to Mezzrow for an early-evening jazz performance. The bill gives the group’s name but does not name the other musicians, so the set is best approached as a quartet date led by Suggs rather than as a roster of individual guests. Mezzrow’s compact basement room is arranged for close listening, where exchanges within the band and small musical details can register clearly. The venue has a bar, but no full kitchen, keeping the focus on the performance.
