Tommy Smith plays Rico Jazz Select
BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE ***** "His tone is tungsten-tough or tender and nostalgic, his improvisations stimulating and affecting."
SCOTSMAN ***** "His toughest and most creative quartet yet."
IRISH TIMES ***** "Smith's tenor is now the uniquely personal voice of a great player."
JAZZWISE **** "It is quite possibly his finest recording yet."
GUARDIAN **** "A rare splicing of rich-toned, pipe-like themes, fiercely guttural up-tempo tenor improv, Arabic and Irish music, tight grooving that suggests Weather Report"
MOJO **** ""Scottish saxophonist/composer's 24th album, one of his best."
JAZZ UK "An impressive flag in the expressionist territory of post-jazz"
ALL ABOUT JAZZ "Were Smith still living in the US, there's every chance he'd be the star there that he clearly is at home."
