Warren Smith Residency

Percussionist Warren Smith is renowned for his sensitive playing in free-jazz contexts, but he has also worked with pop stars like Aretha Franklin and Van Morrison (even appearing on the latter's epochal Astral Weeks record). Here, the 80-year-old master gets a rare extended showcase, appearing in a variety of settings with key collaborators including fellow percussionist Newman Taylor Baker and saxist Andrew Lamb.
