"Vital Information is one of improvised music's best-kept secrets...” – Jazz Times
Drummer Steve Smith is never one to rest on his laurels. From his early gigs with jazz/fusion pioneer Jean Luc Ponty to the rock anthems of Journey, Smith has been the ultimate sideman, always delivering 'the goods,' but never sacrificing musicality for technique. Electric and energetic, Vital Information has a melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic inventiveness that can travel from gritty funkiness to exotic, head-spinning, polyrhythmic grooves. The group features Tom Coster – keyboards, Baron Browne – bass, and Vinnie Valentino – guitar. Their latest record is LIVE! One Great Night (BFM Jazz). If you think you've heard jazz/fusion, think again.
