A great Capitol moment from pianist Paul Smith – an artist who really cut some of his best material ever for the label ! The Smith sound is at the height of its powers here in the late 50s – kind of a blend of jazz and more easy-going pianistic modes – often stretched out with lots of flourishes by Smith on the keys, but never the too-flowery styles used by some of his contemporaries ! Instead, Paul keeps things nice and lean – always enough to be plenty swinging in all the right moments – with quartet help from Barney Kessel on guitar, Joe Mondragon on bass, and Stan Levey on drums.
