Evan Sherman Sextet via Smalls (Live Stream, then Archived Stream)
Mon., March 1. Sets at 5PM and 7PM. Sponsored Sets / SmallsLIVE Members

Although he’s still in his twenties, Evan Sherman is a veteran jazz drummer and arranger. He’s toured with Wynton Marsalis and for the past 7 years he’s led the Evan Sherman Big Band, where he gets to show off his composition and arranging chops. Keeping a big band together is a tall order at the best of times, which these definitely are not. But Sherman also has a slightly smaller group, a sextet, and they are doing two streaming sets live at Smalls this evening.

Here's the Evan Sherman Big Band, recorded live at Lincoln Center, playing a piece called "Salute to Cedar," presumably referring to the late jazz pianist Cedar Walton:
