SML Small Medium Large (Indie Store Exclusive
2024 limited edition 13-track LP pressed on 140-gram
Sedimentary Orange Marbled
Vinyl. The debut album from the quintet of
bassist Anna Butterss, synthesist Jeremiah Chiu, saxophonist
Josh Johnson, percussionist Booker Stardrum, and guitarist
Gregory Uhlmann. Bubbling, multiform proto-trance nuggets
fashioned from four nights of live group improv at a bygone
bastion of the new West Coast sound. Engineered and
recorded in stereo direct to Nagra by Bryce Gonzales at ETA,
Los Angeles, CA. on October 12-13 2022 and April 8-9 2023.
Picture sleeve with orange obi strip. Recommended)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
SML is a new quintet composed of luminaries from Los Angeles’s thriving jazz, improvised, and indie music scenes: bassist Anna Butterss (Jason Isbell, Phoebe Bridgers, Makaya McCraven, Daniel Villarreal), synthesist Jeremiah Chiu (Ariel Kalma, Marta Sofia Honer, Icy Demons), saxophonist Josh Johnson (Meshell Ndegeocello, Leon Bridges, Carlos Niño), percussionist Booker Stardrum (Amirtha Kidambi, Lisel, Lee Ranaldo, Patrick Shiroishi) and guitarist Gregory Uhlmann (Sam Wilkes, Meg Duffy, Perfume Genius).
Small Medium Large was engineered and recorded in stereo direct to Nagra by Bryce Gonzales and compiled, arranged, and edited with additional production, recording, and studio composition by SML across their various home studios.
ETA — which closed its doors at the end of 2023 — is perhaps best known outside of LA for Jeff Parker's 2022 album Mondays at the Enfield Tennis Academy. The Highland Park venue was the perfect location for the start of SML, especially given that both bassist Anna Butterss and saxophonist Josh Johnson are part of Parker's quartet that held down a regular gig at ETA since the venue's early days, as documented on Parker's album.
While editing, chopping, and rearranging stereo mixed improvisations is hardly a new idea (Makaya McCraven's output on International Anthem serves as a potent modern example), Small Medium Large reflects a stunning expansion of the Teo Macero / Miles Davis editing concept explored on classics like In a Silent Way, On The Corner, and Get Up With It. Stylistically though, these recordings have more in common with the proto-trance repetitions of Harmonia, and with Holgar Czukay's re-assembly technique used in his work with Can. Throw in a supremely intuitive utilization of polyrhythmic floating patterns (a la Susumu Yokota), and the result is a truly innovative take on time-clocked electronic rhythms augmented with live instrumentation that never loses an elusive human sway.
