Experience Samuel Torres live on July 24th

Samuel Torres will be performing at Smalls Jazz Club in New York City on July 24, 2026. Torres is a Colombian-born pianist and composer known for his energetic and technically proficient style that blends Afro-Colombian rhythms – particularly *currulao* and *bambuco* – with jazz improvisation and harmonic sensibilities. His work often features complex polyrhythms and showcases a strong connection to his cultural heritage while remaining firmly rooted in the jazz tradition. He frequently leads ensembles featuring both acoustic and electric instrumentation, exploring a dynamic range of textures.

Smalls Jazz Club, located in Greenwich Village, has been a significant venue for jazz musicians since its founding in 1994. Originally an unauthorized, late-night jam session space operating within a deli, it gained prominence as a haven for musicians seeking an environment for spontaneous performance and collaboration. It’s known for its intimate setting, consistently hosting both established artists and emerging talent, often with sets continuing into the early morning hours. The club’s commitment to live, uncommercial jazz has earned it a dedicated following and recognition as an important part of New York City's jazz landscape.
