Before there was Medeski Martin & Wood, pianist John Medeski was on the road with the Either/Orchestra. Before he joined the bands of Dewey Redman, Lee Konitz, and Charlie Haden and led his own groups, drummer Matt Wilson spent five years with the Either/Orchestra. Before his stellar career with Lester Bowie, Don Byron, Dave Holland, and at the helm of myriad projects, trombonist Josh Roseman was a charter member of...the Either/Orchestra.
For bassist/composer Sean Smith, his forthcoming CD 'Trust' opens an exciting new chapter in his musical life. It's his third album as a leader but his first since 2001 and the debut release for his own imprint, Smithereen Records. It features his well-traveled quartet of guitarist John Hart, saxophonist John Ellis, and drummer Russell Meissner, exploring his original compositions. And it marks a rededication to his music following his recovery from a career-threatening incident in 2007.
