Montreal-born and raised drummer / composer Greg Smith lived in NYC in the 1990s, where he embraced the new alternative underground jazz scene. He played extensively and made connections with some of his favorite musicians, including David Binney, Chris Speed and Reggie Washington. In Europe, Smith is also known for his role in the LAMA trio with trumpet player Susana Santos Silva and bass player Gonçalo Almeida. He recorded four albums with guest roles for Chris Speed and Joachim Badenhorst.
Now Smith is moving between the European cities of Rotterdam and Berlin. In the last corona year, he also made a trans-atlantic debut album called Cluster 001 that will be released worldwide on April 23, 2021. The album is a must for the curious listener who will appreciate the beats, pop-like melodies, electronics and daring improvisations.
