This five-piece collective from the vibrant Los Angeles jazz scene fuses live jazz with electronics and sampling, creating an immersive live experience driven by rhythm and groove.

SML brings together five musicians from Los Angeles, each of whom has made their mark on the jazz, improvisation, and indie scenes. Bassist Anne Butterss, saxophonist Josh Johnson, guitarist Gregory Uhlmann, synthesizer player Jeremiah Chiu, and percussionist Booker Stardrum are united by a shared interest in sound, rhythm, and improvisation. In their music, electronics and acoustic instruments merge organically into an intricate sonic tapestry. Short motifs and pulsing rhythms build into a continuous flow of sound, rich in repetition and open to improvisation. Live, SML creates a hypnotic sound in which everything is constantly in motion, yet each layer ultimately falls into place.
