S&H meet Jordan Smith on the Horse of Light
S&H (the musical duo of Samm Bennett and Habu Hiroshi) will be joining forces with poet/spoken word artist Jordan Smith for a mix-and-match evening of deep groove and verbal exploration. For this show, multi-instrumentalist Samm Bennett will be conjuring up all manner of beats and sonic textures using the electronic percussion marvel known as the WaveDrum, with Habu Hiroshi laying down his compelling beats on some his beautifully resonant self-made drums. Over, under and through the polyrhythmic goings-on will be the breathtakingly rapid-fire and amazingly inventive wordplay of Jordan Smith, who's been making a name for himself of late on the Tokyo poetry scene.
It's happening at the "Horse of Light", that is, Hikari No Uma, a friendly and comfortable nightspot just seconds away from JR Okubo Station's south exit (and a short walk from JR Shin-Okubo as well).
Two sets! Don't miss it!
