SUMMARY:SMIODAIR feat. Laura Jurd
DESCRIPTION:Smiodair is an international quartet performing original music that draws on a body of work spanning jazz\, improvised music and West African rhythm traditions. The music weaves effortlessly between memorable themes and spontaneous interplay\, with thunderous grooves colliding with dreamlike sonic landscapes. Without a harmony instrument\, the sound is raw\, open and direct\, rich in melody\, rhythm and infectious energy. \nThis gig will take place at The Grasshopper\,\n139 – 141 Bournemouth Rd\, Poole BH14 9HT. \nPlease note: If parking in either of the car parks at The Grasshopper\, you must register your vehicle on one of the dedicated terminals at the bar or in the function room. \nTicket link below \nSmiodair is an international quartet with roots that go back over twenty years. Drummer Dave Smith and saxophonist Robin Fincker first played together at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama\, going on to co-found the Loop Collective in London in 2005\, a venue\, festival and record label that became a hub for the UK and European creative music scene. Their long creative partnership continued through Outhouse\, the Ruhabi project and Splice\, accumulating a body of work that spans jazz\, improvised music and West African rhythm traditions. \nBassist Simon Jermyn came into the fold through a collaboration between Dublin’s Bottlenote Collective and the Loop Collective in 2006\, before a decade in New York and a move to Berlin that took his playing to new places. \nThe word Smiodair\, from the Irish for fragments or small broken pieces\, captures something true about three musicians whose paths have diverged and reconnected across London\, Paris\, Dublin\, New York and Berlin. \nFor their UK tour in November 2026\, the trio expands to a quartet with the addition of trumpeter Laura Jurd\, one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary British jazz. The new line-up deepens the band’s sonic palette while staying true to the collective\, compositional spirit at its heart. \nPlaying original music composed by all four members\, the quartet constantly weaves between composition and improvisation\, thunderous grooves colliding with dreamlike sonic landscapes. Without a harmony instrument\, the music is raw and direct\, rich in melody and rhythm. \nDebut album in development. Release planned for 2027. \nRobin Fincker: tenor saxophone/clarinet\nLaura Jurd: trumpet\nSimon Jermyn: bass\nDave Smith: drums \nEntry is £17.50 (no booking fee) in advance through the below link\, or £20 on the door (cash or card). \nShare this event
