Jazz / Cool / Bop / Piano
The two enticingly swinging sessions brought together here find pianist Paul Smith in typically well-crafted form, with “The Big Men” a joyously engaging date in which he is heard performing solo or in a trio. Much skill, considerable feeling, and unceasingly ebullient energy transform this album into a thoroughly listenable program of modern jazz, throughout which his lines show strong classical influence and clear indication of his imposing compositional talent (Theme for Theda). The playing of the trio is crisp and knowing, and there are moments of brilliant musicianship by Smith with the fine support of Vinnegar and Levey, two swingers who keep the pulse vibrant.
On Richard Rodgers’ Broadway musical “The Sound of Music,” guitarist Barney Kessel’s contributions are consistently good, and the rhythm section is unfailingly solid and supportive. Smith, as leader, is utterly relaxed and swinging, while still managing to be viscerally creative in an excellent demonstration of the craftsmanship for which he was noted.
The Paul Smith Trio & Quartet - The Big Men + The Sound Of Music (1959-60) {2014 Fresh Sound Records 24-bit Remaster}
Paul Smith (1922-2013) was a superb pianist who could sound like Oscar Peterson whenever he wanted and, to a lesser extent, Art
Tatum. He spent many years as a studio musician and had several long stints touring and accompanying Ella Fitzgerald. Smith
recorded many albums during his career including two for Verve during 1959-60 that have been reissued as a single CD by Fresh
Sound. The Big Man has Smith alternating trio features with bassist Leroy Vinnegar and drummer Stan Levey and solo showcases
that put the spotlight on Smith’s classical background, particularly the two part “Who’s Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf.” The second half
of the reissue has Smith, guitarist Barney Kessel, bassist Morty Corb and drummer Irv Cottler performing easy-listening jazz versions
of 11 songs from The Sound Of Music. The music throughout is pleasing and lightly swinging.
