Originally a dive bar, it transitioned into a dedicated jazz venue in the early 1980s, becoming renowned for its late-night jam sessions and intimate atmosphere. The club is particularly noted for fostering an environment where musicians can freely collaborate and experiment; it's become a proving ground for emerging talent and continues to host established artists. Smalls operates largely on a “hat pass” system, relying on voluntary contributions from audience members to support the musicians and the club itself. It maintains a consistent schedule of performances, often featuring multiple sets each night.
