Peripheral Vision & Patrick Smith Words Trio

Patrick Smith Words Trio

Patrick Smith Words Trio is a modern jazz trio drawing from the influences of Paul Motian, Ornette Coleman’s Prime Time bands, and Sun Ra. Featuring Dan Pitt on Guitar and Lowell Whitty on drums, the group combines abstract improvisations folding them into Smith’s compositions to create music unlike any other.

Peripheral Vision

Peripheral Vision is a bold and innovative Toronto-based jazz quartet known for its adventurous spirit and deep musical rapport. Led by guitarist Don Scott and bassist Michael Herring, the group blends jazz with rock, classical, and free improv influences to create a sound that is both forward-thinking and deeply grooving. Over 15 years of collaboration, they’ve released six acclaimed albums (including two live recordings), earned a JUNO nomination, and received the Galaxie Rising Star Award from the Montreal Jazz Festival.

Joined by saxophonist Trevor Hogg and drummer Nick Fraser, Peripheral Vision thrives on collective creativity and dynamic interaction, bringing the exploratory energy of ’60s jazz and garage bands to every performance. They are currently performing “We’ve Got Nothing”, a Canada Council for the Arts-funded multimedia video and album release.
