Richmond, CA (PRWEB) January 27, 2011
Jazz bassist/composer Sean Smith
makes a welcome return to recording with “Trust”—his third album as a
leader, his first since 2001, and the debut release for his own imprint,
Smithereen Records. Smith’s swinging, finely attuned quartet, which
consists of guitarist John Hart, saxophonist John Ellis, and drummer
Russell Meissner, is dedicated to exploring Smith’s original
compositions.
“Trust is such a big part of what we do,” Smith says. “I trust that
these guys are going to interpret my pieces without me telling them very
much. Oftentimes they make them sound better than I had envisioned.
They’ll suggest something, or go with an idea and trust that it will be
the right thing at the moment.” To continue, Please click “MORE”!

LIVE 2006 BBC RECORDING AT NEW YORK’S MERKIN HALL
REVISITS BAND’S GROUNDBREAKING CONCEPTS FROM
THEIR GRAMMY NOMINATED BLUE NOTE ALBUMS
Unconventional.
Unheard of. Some might add unreal. Upon first listen, you’ll be struck
by the startling freshness and flat-out nerve that have become hallmark
sounds of Animation, the best rock & jazz mélange you’ve never heard
of.
With two Grammy nominated Blue Note CDs, animation * imagination (1999) and re*animation LIVE!
(2000), the group has raised the bar for experimental music, carrying
with it infectious tinges of hip-hop, trip-hop, drum ‘n’ bass, fusion
and whatever your own imagination might add with each new listen.
The journey continues with Asiento, the group’s long-overdue album to be released on the UK-based RareNoiseRecords. Spearheaded by music visionaries Bob Belden (producer/saxophone), Tim Hagans (trumpet) and keyboardist/synth Scott Kinsey (keyboard/synthesizer), as well as Matt Garrison (bass), Guy Licata (drums) and DJ Logic (turntables), Animation re-imagines the landmark 1969 Miles Davis release Bitches Brew.
