SML

SML is a new supergroup from Los Angeles whose music blends jazz with improvised and indie-influenced elements. Their sound is a bold fusion that pushes genre boundaries and creates something entirely its own.

The band’s debut album, Small, Medium, Large, released a couple of years ago, drew widespread attention and landed on numerous Best of 2024 lists. Last autumn, SML followed it up with their second album, How You Been. The group was also selected as the artist-in-residence for the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, one of the United States’ most respected events for forward-thinking music.

SML delivers energetic, collective improvisation that is rhythmically intense, unpredictable, and deeply expressive. Their distinctive sound offers a fresh vision for the future of electronic jazz—innovative, adventurous, and unmistakably their own.
