Walter Smith III Project
Thursday 7th February 2013
It is always a pleasure to have world class players visit us from over the Atlantic and its a double pleasure to welcome Walter Smith III and his group as they come over for a rare UK tour.
Walter has performed all over the world participating in numerous national and international festivals as well as famed stages in the U.S. such as Carnegie Hall and the
Kennedy Center. He has shared the stage and/or appeared on recordings with many of the great names in contemporary jazz such as Terence Blanchard, Roy Haynes, Christian McBride, Joe Lovano, and so many more. To date, Walter has appeared on over 75 recordings that are released worldwide.
Walter's debut recording as a leader was released in March of 2006 on the Fresh Sound New Talent label and features many of the brightest young jazz talents. His sophomore release, titled "Live in France", was released in October of 2009 to critical acclaim. His most recent album, “III”, was released in September of 2010 and was a top 10 best seller on itunes.
A must see group featuring the amazing Jamire Williams on drums, Matthew Stevens on guitar and Mike Janisch on bass. Early booking a must for this gig!!!!
