On their International Anthem debut, 'Small Medium Large,' the L.A. quintet make strikingly original—and wildly evocative—art-fusion

These tracks are indisputably the intricate and knotted products of the studio, but somehow SML retained the looseness and rapport of a tight band jamming in a small club even amid all the edits, loops, cuts and Carl-Stone-like sonic layering.

SML lay down some heavy grooves, but their music is less about making people dance than it is about exploring space through communal joy.

Recorded across four nights of longform improv at L.A.’s Enfield Tennis Academy, then cut up and remixed, the quintet’s debut marks an exciting milestone in the city’s emerging jazz scene.

Taking notes from the resurgence of free jazz / spiritual jazz. SML manages to make something so many have tried to make and have failed doing. This album not only holds your attention, but surprises and delights around every corner. A multitude of vibes and a fusion of styles that on paper sounds boring, but in practice is chock full of delight.
