As a multitalented musician, Harold E. Smith makes music
out ofanything he picks up. He plays drums, wind and percussion instruments from
every continent, gongs, whistles, flutes and the traditional Australian
Didjeridoo. In the jazz domain, Harold is noted for his highly energized,
emotional, and innovative style of drumming, both as a leader and sideman.
In all domains, Harold Smith is a person deeply in touch with the
spirit of
nature and the nature of our spirit. The first time he
picked up the
didjeridoo, he could play it. When he plays, he is always
in conversation
with the Great Spirit. He makes music that warms folk's
hearts, and brings smiles to their faces. The music comes
from his heart,
and his magical soul to ours.
In addition to music, Harold has years of experience in the realm
of film
and television. He's done it all: editing, camerawork for film and
television, TV news, and documentaries, audio, music
studio recordings and
audio engineering for television. He's also done voice-overs
and on-air
interviews.

Didjeridoo, Tablas, Trombone. Conch Shells. Gongs.
This music sounds good. It
sounds so good because it hits the spirit center. And that interchange
of parts
which cycles from the breath, to the beat,
Into the heart of the vibration -- through that cosmic funky groove,
and finally to the soul. Your soul. Our
soul.
Soul music .
