Description

SML is a quintet composed of Anna Butterss, Jeremiah Chiu, Josh Johnson, Booker Stardrum, and Gregory Uhlmann. With their second album, How You Been, the group continues to develop its collective and experimental approach to music-making, first explored on Small Medium Large.

Built from improvisations recorded in concert and later refined in postproduction, How You Been represents a major evolution, featuring a more conscious, rich, and fully realized sound. Influenced by figures such as Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis, and by diverse genres including afrobeat, kosmiche, proto-techno, and new jazz, SML transcends its influences to create a singular and avant-garde sonic identity.

Rooted in Los Angeles’ jazz and improvised music scene, the group is part of a connected community of artists and embodies its creative core. As Pitchfork puts it, “SML may announce a new iteration of jazz or may not be jazz at all.”
