David Smith

Canada / Trumpet

Under his melancholic veneer, David Smith is actually a confidant musician. The Toronto trumpeter has the tint of the northern country in his music, added with the clarity of thought and logic, multiple musical styles. He is much in demand in New York jazz scene and has released several albums. Currently he is teaching in the College of Staten Island, CUNY.

David Smith is a Canadian-born trumpeter currently residing in New York City. He studied and began his professional career in Toronto, and in 2000 he relocated to New York with a study grant from the Canada Council for the Arts. His debut album as a leader, “Circumstance”, was released in October of 2006 on the Fresh Sound New Talent label (FSNT 267), and features his original compositions and an outstanding quintet featuring Seamus Blake on tenor, Nate Radley on guitar, David Ephross on bass and the ubiquitous Mark Ferber on drums. While the roots of his music are in classic jazz, he combines elements of classical harmony and counterpoint resulting in a very original compositional style. His approach to the trumpet is also unique, intervallic and harmonically sophisticated yet lyrical and emotional.

In addition to his own recording, he is featured as a sideman on over two dozen recordings including for Fresh Sound New Talent (Alan Ferber Nonet, Delphian Jazz Orchestra) Steeplechase (Kim Bock Quartet, Russ Spiegel Sextet) and Interplay Records (Cecilia Coleman Quintet) as well as several independent releases (Paul Carlon Octet, Sarah Lynch, Numinous). He has also recorded for national broadcasts on CBC Radio in Canada and Denmarks Radio in Denmark and appears on two film soundtracks. He has recorded with Lonnie Plaxico, Billy Hart, Chris Cheek, Harry Connick Jr., Lenny Pickett and Tom Jones among others.

He has played in many of New York’s finest jazz clubs including Birdland, the Blue Note, the Jazz Standard, Smalls, Cornelia St. Cafe and 55 Bar, as well as clubs around the U.S. northeast and in Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Denmark, Sweden and Haiti. David has a Master of Arts Degree in Jazz Performance from the Aaron Copland School of Music in New York, and is an adjunct faculty member at the College.
