The Joshua Smith Quartet

The upcoming tour will reunite Smith with three longtime collaborators, each a master in their own right:

• Kim Cass (bass): Known for his work with John Zorn, Bill McHenry, and Noah Preminger, Cass brings inimitable energy and precision.
• Keigo Hirakawa (piano): An exceptional talent who has performed with Robert Hurst and whose touch on the keys brings life to any tune.
• Hamir Atwal (drums): A versatile force in jazz (Tuneyards) with over a decade of history performing alongside Smith.

This quartet promises a performance overflowing with musicality, versatility, and the unbridled communicative power of jazz. Whether reinterpreting standards or delivering Smith’s original compositions, the group strikes a balance between reverence for tradition and bold exploration, appealing to casual listeners and seasoned jazz aficionados alike.
