Artist/Band: |  | Derek Smith Trio | Name: |  | Beautiful Love | Cat No.: |  | VHCD-1028 | Performed by: |  | Derek Smith (piano) Peter Washington (bass) Joe Ascione (drums)
| Release Date: |  | 05/20/2009 | Description: |  | A jazz pianist noted for his versatility and elegance, Derek Smith, originally from London, has been playing professionally in the US since 1957. Like Eddie Higgins--another star pianist on the Venus roster, Smith remains relatively unknown in the US but is strongly admired by fellow musicians and ardent fans.
For his debut CD for Venus Records, Smith--who was 76 years old at the time of the recording--was paird with a very strong rhythm section: Peter Washington on bass and Joe Ascione on drums. In a program of well-known standards, Smith impresses the listener with his swinging, dynamic and even fiery pianism on fast tunes and beautiful touch and harmonic elegance on slower numbers.
This is a throughly enjoyable piano trio disc. Recommended!
The 200-gram audiophile LP version of this album is available here.
Produced by Tetsuo Hara & Todd Barkan. Recorded by Katherine Miller at The Avatar Studio in New York on April 4 & 8, 2008. Mixed and mastered by Venus Hyper Magnum Sound Direct Mix. | Eastwind Import Price: |  |
