Review

★★★★ Peter Quinn JAZZWISE
★★★★ Linton Chiswick Q MAGAZINE
★★★★ Clive Davis THE TIMES
“a remarkable achievement and listening experience.” Jim Love INVERNESS COURIER
“Fascinating” – John Fordham THE GUARDIAN

“By means of repetition, extension and fresh invention, each improvisation seems to ripple outwards from a central core. A gem.”  – JAZZWISE

“Folk songs, standards, and medieval chant among the improvisations; a brilliant encapsulation of Smith’s oeuvre” – THE HERALD

“It’s a music of unexpected harmonies, as Smith appears to conduct a choir of ghosts through folk songs, ballads and improvisations.” – Q MAGAZINE
