Greg Smith GS

NEWS

I'm currently working on some new 
tracks with  
guitarist Teis Semey and bassist
Jort Terwijn and really
looking forward to sharing this 
music with you  :-)

Electronic soundscapes, mysterious, almost dystopian atmospheres,

and volcanic energy!’

These words, written by music critic Jean Claude Vantroyen of Le Soir Brussels,

truly describe the sound of Canadian drummer/composer Greg Smith’s CLUSTER 001. The music is intense and driving, yet allows space for hallucinations and dreams, fulfilling Smith’s bizarre vision of a World clustered with off-the-wall sonic imagery and propulsive, futuristic rhythms. A strong melodic line forges through the fray and lets this alternate reality impact and permeate the hearts and minds of the listeners.

“Smith’s music, deep and progressive, touched my listeners deeply” – Jerry Gordon, Evidence Records, and director of WPRB Princeton

“Smith convened the perfect group, integrating compositional rigor with improvisational openness” – Philip Freitas, Jazz Trail NYC

Lineup: Greg Smith – David Binney – Vanja Kevresan – Alex Maksymiw – Logan Kane

"An engaging debut record that revels in earnest rock expression and futuristic jazz reverie"

"Smith's music transcends jazz, rock, funk, and is jam-packed with solid improvisations, electronics, and above all a full reservoir of energy"

"Smith's jazz, very deep and progressive, connects with my audience of experienced and discriminating listeners. Great compositions, music to behold!”

"Smith's band produces a volcanic energy that can especially be heard during the phenomenal solos"

"Cleverly thought-out fusion and slightly unconventional jazz, Smith keeps the tension constantly up to standard. For fans of the Moonjune label"
