The Quartet will perform Smith's original compositions. Influenced by Jazz, South African, Middle and Far Eastern traditional styles, the Quartet generates an energy that initiates organic explorations, moving Smith’s compositions into fresh and inventive territories. “We are beginning to establish a great togetherness, a synergy. Because of the creative impetus of each member in the band, there is this sense of constant shape shifting, this constant ebb and flow between form and formlessness within the music – which makes for exciting listening." says Smith.
Smith, winner of the 2009 FMR / Pick 'n Pay Music Award in the Jazz category made a very favourable impression when he went on tour with the Kyle Shepherd 'fineART' Quartet in June 2010 to perform in Switzerland at The Bird's Eye Jazz Club and Denmark at the Aarhus and Riverboat Jazz Festivals.
