Steve Smith & Vital Information Recording “A Prayer for the Generations - Part 1“

This improvised piece starts with bassist Janek Gwizdala setting up a loop with his elaborate pedal array. When he gives us a nod, we join him. I enter with cymbals and drums. Manuel Valera orchestrates with keyboards and georgegarzone’s tenor sax commentary inspires us to collectively create an instant composition. Get all the music - CD/streaming - here: We had no idea at this point that we would continue to create improv-after-improv and end with a complete “companion album“ to TIME FLIES. - Steve Smith
