They use the duo format as a way to explore various paths of musical expression without the help or constraints of a traditional rhythm section. Their repertoire ranges from old ballads and tin pan alley hits to aggressive pointillistic free improvisations that utilize extended techniques. Smith is best known for his work with Birth, an innovative band based out of Cleveland/NYC. He has played, toured and recorded with many great improvisers including Joe Maneri, Nate Wooley, and Cuong Vu. Smith gigs frequently around the Bay area with his own groups and in a recently formed quartet lead by Scott Amendola. Coleman is known locally for his work with the collective trio Beep and as a sideman for a multitude of Bay Area composers and performers. ----------------------------------- Friday, September 2nd Thursday, August 25th, 2011 Thursday, July 28, 2011 Thursday, June 9th . 8pm, 2011 sliding scale $12 - $15 ------------------------------------------------------- Wednesday, June 8th, 2011 joshua smith trio jazz standards / originals / free improvisation ----------------------------------------------------- Saturday August 14th, 2010 8:30pm Joshua Smith and Keigo Hirakawa Quartet Cd Release event and Memorial Tribute for Harvey Pekar @The Root Cafe (15108 Detroit Ave. Lakewood) and The United Latvian Church next door to the cafe (admission to concert is $10 which includes a copy of the new cd...)
