Bassist Jacob Smith brings the dynamic and cultural legacy of the Fort Apache Band live to the stage with the next installment of the Music Of Series. Started by the brothers Andy and Jerry Gonzalez, the Fort Apache Band was as much of an institution as it was an ensemble, exploring the rich connection between Afro-Cuban Music and Jazz. The Fort Apache Tradition pays homage to this legendary group as Jacob Smith takes the audience on a journey weaving traditional music from Latin America and the Caribbean with the deep tradition and legacy of Jazz.
Jacob Smith is a bassist and bandleader in Indianapolis, IN. He has performed with many top artists in the city including Rob Dixon, Kenny Phelps, Joel Tucker, and many more. His career has stretched into various genres such as Jazz, RnB, and of course music from the Caribbean and Latin America. He can be seen frequently performing in and outside the city with his current projects, the 317 Proyecto specializing in Salsa Dura, and the Fort Apache Tradition. Jacob is currently serving as Professor of Jazz Bass at the University of Indianapolis.
