Christian Euman brings modern jazz drumming and improvised music instincts to a Martin Nevin bill with Joshua White. Sam First’s focused Westchester room fits rhythm section detail and close listening.
Tim Rachbach Group ft. Mark Turner with Adam Ratner, Adam Hersh & Graeham Guerin keeps Sam First in craft-first mode on Thu, strongest when the songs land with close detail. Careful ears get more back.
