Matt Smiley Creative Quintet: Record Release - Night 2
Matt Smiley formed this quintet in 2025, bringing together like-minded creative musicians from across the country to collaborate and make art together. The quintet made up of Dru Heller (drums), David Pope (saxophone), Josh Reed (trumpet), and Alex Nauman (guitar) focuses on improvised music based on standard jazz forms, with a dynamic, ever-shifting approach to their ensemble sound. Playing a blend of post-bop, hard bop, modal jazz, and swing, this thrilling new group explores a number of intriguing sonic frontiers and captures the hearts of music fans of all stripes.
Please join us on this special evening as we celebrate the release of their Live at Nocturne album!
