SMOKE SCREENS presents:the nicole glover quartet
FRIDAY MARCH 5 - SATURDAY MARCH 6 / LIVE STREAMED / 8PM EST
"[Glover's] set was something else entirely, damn near the stuff of which legends are made." – All About Jazz
“[Cable’s] solos reveal a deep sense of groove and pacing and a mind at work.” – NPR
Saxophonist Nicole Glover is one of the most exciting new voices in jazz. WBGO already calls her “a fixture on the scene in New York” and says, “we’re sure to be hearing a lot more from her soon.”Originally from Portland, Oregon, she has worked with Esperanza Spalding and George Colligan as well as Reggie Workman, Victor Lewis, and Renee Rosnes among many others. She is a frequent leader of her own groups and recently joined the all-star collective band Artemis. Glover’s quartet features legendary pianist George Cables as a special guest. The New York City Jazz Record says, “He is a piano giant.” All About Jazz adds, “Anyone who is serious about jazz will tell you that George Cables belongs in the pantheon of the greatest jazz pianists.”

Wayne Escoffery (tenor saxophone)
Peter Bernstein (guitar)
Ugonna Okegwo (bass)
Johnathan Blake (drums)
“Every time he plays, saxophonist Wayne Escoffery brings a sense memory that includes early days in the church choir in New Haven, Connecticut; the wisdom and watchful eye of the legendary Jackie McLean; time spent with The Mingus Big Band, Ron Carter and Tom Harrell.”
– Gary Walker, WBGO.org
Saxophonist Wayne Escoffery leads an exquisite quartet—with guitarist Peter Bernstein, bassist Ugonna Okegwo and drummer Johnathan Blake--to help celebrate his birthday belatedly (It’s February 25th.) Escoffery was a protégé of the great Jackie McLean and he faithfully channels his former mentor’s powerful approach. All About Jazz says, “Not since the works of bassist Charles Mingus and saxophonist John Coltrane has there been music so charged with emotion and so engulfed in spirituality” with Stereogum adding “the leader’s playing has thoughtfulness and muscle in equal measure.” In recent years, he’s released a series of acclaimed recordings including last year’s The Humble Warrior.

SMOKE SESSIONS RECORDS CD RELEASE
Eric Reed - "For Such A Time As This"
For more than three decades as one of the most influential and beloved jazz musicians, Eric Reed has recorded close to 30 accomplished leader albums showcasing his virtuosic chops, intellectual clarity, unwavering will to swing, and ability to refract and coalesce a wide range of musical, spiritual, and personal influences into a single stream of consciousness. Perhaps the most personal of them all is For Such a Time as This, a powerful and uplifting program framed by the realities of global pandemic anxiety, persistent racism and racial injustice, and an acrimonious, fraught Presidential election season.
It was in Los Angeles in early 2020, when the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a city-wide shutdown, that Reed began to conceive For Such A Time As This to be recorded in L.A. with local musicians. By the end of June, he was ready and had assembled a gifted, young quartet to record a set of recently penned originals, carefully chosen standards, old chestnuts, and, as he has done regularly over the past 15 years, some restorative Gospel selections.
Assembled for this session, the group—drum virtuoso Kevin Kanner, Australia-born bassist Alex Boneham, tenor and soprano saxophonist Chris Lewis—nonetheless displays the chemistry of a long-established band. Reed’s original composition “Make Me Better,” is sung by the soulful Henry Jackson, who “puts a fine point on everything I’m hoping and wishing for—that I will be made better by this experience, and that I will encourage other people to be better as well.”
