Ches Smith

• 3 PANEL DIGIPACK EDITION

Drummer, vibraphonist and composer Ches Smith is a necessary voice in today’s creative music scene, regardless of the context he operates.

After collecting critical acclaim last year with his Vodou-inspired project We All Break, he returns to the minimally written, impeccably structured pieces that marked his ECM debut album The Bell ( ECM 146947), which featured violist Mat Maneri and pianist Craig Taborn. For Interpret it Well, his sophomore release on Pyroclastic Records, this trio is augmented with the natural talents and textural vastness of the great guitarist Bill Frisell.
