Not Dark Yet - Nathan Parker Smith Large Ensemble
“It’s a concentrated, potent dose of thundering jazz-metal power, more orchestral than big-band, thrilling no matter how you categorize it.” Phil Freeman, Burning Ambulance. 

“Don’t let the eighteen-member size of this jazz band scare you. This isn’t Grandpa’s big band, nor your Dad’s. Nor necessarily anybody else who’s into big band jazz. The Nathan Parker Smith Large Ensemble, perhaps the world’s only modern creative heavy metal horn band, is for the rest of us.” S. Victory Aaron, Something Else Reviews. 

“…[a] band that just about blows down the house… This is blockbuster, even bruising, music with little respite on the program; such vigorous music might scare some folks away, [I] can’t wait to hear this ensemble live.” Richard B. Kamins, Step Tempest. 

“…[a] seriously aggressive large ensemble… Music that speaks loudly and carries a big stick, too.” Dave Sumner, Wondering Sound. 

“…[a] muscular, bracingly intricate new disc…” Time Out New York.

I am an Architectural Illustrator, independent composer/arranger/multi-instrumentalist (primarily guitar) living in So. California. Unencumbered with the limitations of a professional career (haha... laugh now) Able to explore and create my own musical universe using Soundcloud as a "virtual music/idea distribution center for anyone who is willing to listen. Past professional highlights include two works for solo classical guitar published by Mel Bay and an Electric Blues Guitar play-along method book published by Hal Leonard and available in boot-leg form in Japan....:)I enjoy collaborating and posting a myriad of music here on Soundcloud.
