Smiodair is an international quartet that performs original music blending composition and improvisation. The group features saxophonist Robin Fincker, drummer Dave Smith, bassist Simon Jermyn, and trumpeter Laura Jurd, who joined for their 2026 UK tour. Their music is characterised by rich melodies and rhythms, reflecting the diverse paths of its members across major cities.
Smiodair — Irish for fragments or small broken pieces — is an international quartet playing original music that moves constantly between composition and improvisation. Thunderous grooves collide with dreamlike sonic landscapes; without a harmony instrument, the music is raw and direct, rich in melody and rhythm. The name also reflects the musicians’ paths, diverging and
reconnecting across London, Paris, Dublin, New York and Berlin.
Saxophonist Robin Fincker and drummer Dave Smith have collaborated for over twenty years, from the Loop Collective to Outhouse, Ruhabi and Splice. Bassist Simon Jermyn first crossed paths with them through Dublin’s Bottlenote Collective and the Loop Collective in 2006, before spending a decade in New York and later moving to Berlin. Celebrated trumpeter Laura Jurd joined the group for their 2026 UK tour, expanding Smiodair to a quartet.
Their debut album is planned for release in 2027.
