Reviews

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.

MOJO ★★★★
“Scottish saxophonist/composer’s 24th album, one of his best.”
