Patrick Smith presents: Another Set

Jazz vibes like miles and all the jazz musicians who work for this amazing style of music

Originally from Ottawa, ON, Patrick Smith is a saxophonist now based in Toronto.

He has studied with Mike Murley, Kelly Jefferson, acclaimed American saxophonist Mark Shim and established himself as a gifted, in-demand musician. Smith is an active bandleader, currently helming his quintet, his trio 3-Oh and now his latest project, Pangea – a jazz fusion concept group comprising some of the top members of the Toronto music scene.

Pangea draws from the spirit of John Coltrane, reimagined in the 21st century and existing in the age of global connectivity. Featuring local heavyweights Darryl Joseph-Denie (Ahi, Who You Got?), Kae Murphy (BADBADNOTGOOD, Whitney) and Jon Catanus (Erez Zobary, Diskarte), they are readying the release of their debut album for January 2025. When forming Pangea, Smith aimed to combine arabic music, R&B/neo-soul, UK jazz and late era John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders and Sun Ra.

The melody of the upcoming LP’s lead single, “Another Set,” is based on violin sections of old Arabic songs. In particular, it’s inspired by the way Johnny Abou Chacra of Kazdoura plays the saxophone and guitar. “Another Set” perfectly encapsulates Pangea’s influences and captures the feeling of pushing through when you really want to quit.

"I came to music because I was lonely as a kid. Everything I do is in the spirit of being connected with something bigger than myself. With this project, I realized as we were recording that me, Darryl, Jon, and Kae all have different ethnic backgrounds and have vastly different upbringings and listened to vastly different music growing up. I think that’s cool. Artists and musicians know this, but it’s just ridiculous that humans as a species are still killing each other over being different...in 2024. I called the project Pangea in that spirit of global connectivity and just really wanting to have an open mind to all musical and cultural ideas". – Patrick Smith

I must admit, this one is a bit of more 'Utopian' then what I normally write. ~ but this is what dreaming is all about. ~ Believing in things that no one else thinks can be possible...

... We all worked so hard on this EP, ~ putting the while group together ~ training members ~ rehearsing ~ booking ~ admin work ~ funding the right producers ~ engineers ~ performing, and finally ~ recording the album... and man is it tight!

#newmusicfriday

If it's Meant To Be ~ I hope you get a chance to listen to it.

It was an effort that I believe paid off, and was well worth it!

I hope you do too 😍😊🥳

Had a lovely day in studio yesterday recording the final song for my upcoming album.🎙🎸🥁💿The song is called “Ghost,” 👻 and you might recognize it from my livestreams. It is the most intimate production-wise of all the songs on the album: just a single vocal, one acoustic guitar and viola 🎻played beautifully by Lee Rose of @aceofwandsband and @dogoodassassins 🤟🏻💜 It was challenging to nail the guitar track, as I’m so used to playing it while singing and not by itself. But my excellent producers Joel Wasson (of the @the_discardedband) and @thejunoawards winner John Critchley coached me through it as always. And hearing the viola on it totally moved me 😭 . . . . #CanadianMusic #NewCanadianMusic #CanadianArtist #CanadianMusician #CanadianMusicians #TorontoMusicScene #TorontoMusician #TorontoMusicians #OriginalMusic #OriginalSong #womenwhorock #CarmenToth #SongwritersOfInstagram #CanadianSongwriter #Studioday #StudioSelfie #UpcomingMusic #NewMusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CWiAP9eLcYx/?utm_medium=tumblr
