Damon Smith Trio - Color Architecture (March 2021)

As i delved into the SF creative music scene in the 1990s, i met a whole community of artists that i would be working with... some to this day. among those early collaborators were Damon Smith and Jerome Bryerton. we had some good times making music, eating and arguing and i'm happy that we were able to document some of our work together here on Color Architecture as the Damon Smith Trio.
