"…the guitar sets the trumpet remarkably well, and Smoker is always up to something interesting. A-" — Tom Hull (www.tomhull.com)

"I loved this band's "Cool Lives" tremendously, especially its modern take on jazz without relinquishing tradition, amplified by its often adventurous openness to structural development of the themes… The playing is as good as on the previous album, the overall tone remains intense and precise…" — Stef, The Free Jazz Blog. www.freejazzblog.org/2014/04/paul-smoker-and-phil-haynes.html

about

Paul Smoker Rochester, New York

PAUL SMOKER: trumpet, composer, educator (1941-2016):
"What Paul Smoker produced on his horn was unheard of in these latitudes; his complete command of his instrument allowed him to play whatever extravaganza he would think of… To the widely discussed question about the future development of the jazz trumpet, [his] musical concept could definitely constitute a far-reaching answer."

Joelle Leandre's large ensemble work Can You Hear Me? is an exercise in the 21st century understanding of musical form. It is one of those pieces that is difficult to describe - you just have to hear it for yourself... if you can? Christopher Moklebust

FØRAGE
by Matt Mitchell

supported by 7 fans who also own “Landings”

It's almost hard to believe there's any space for Tim to fit in when they play this stuff as a duo! The magical uber-complex counterpoint flowing from and resolving to the killer tunes has a similar feel to the full band Berne but these are clarifying in their complexity - you can understand all the moving parts on the same level. Also perhaps the best showcase of Mr Mitchell's solo skills I've heard - he's fully in his element! Giles
