When the quintet SML (Small Medium Large) – the supergroup formed by Anna Butterss, Jeremiah Chiu, Josh Johnson, Booker Stardum and Gregory Uhlmann – debuted in 2024, Pitchfork described the album as “an exciting milestone” in contemporary avant-garde music, suggesting that SML “may signal a new iteration of jazz, or it may not even be jazz, or it may not even matter”.
In SML’s music, various genres implode as they are referenced, in a voracious approach that exhausts possibilities, quickly tires of them and moves in another direction. Each instrument, as in the early electric phase of Miles Davis (2026 marks his centenary), transcends its characteristic sound and becomes a portal to another surprising dimension.
