Rick Smith’s New Promise

Promise is a truly international group hailing from Mexico, Singapore, Taiwan and the USA, and their repertoire for the evening reflects just that. Featuring Govin Tan on percussion, Mario Lopez on bass, Richard Jackson on vocals, Judy Tsai on cello, David Loke on violin and Rick Smith on guitar, the group will perform a variety of original music written and arranged by Rick. Each composition explores a wide range of grooves and textures, showcasing the group’s diversity. Their sound combines classical textures and nuance with the improvisational characters of jazz.
