Press Reviews
“Listening to this recording makes me want to check out Perry Smith’s earlier albums. He is excellent . . . With a tight band and their superb playing, ‘Live in Brooklyn’ is simply outstanding.”
- Ron Weinstock, The Jazz & Blues Report
"Smith has got that thick, slightly blurred yet nimble, big cushy-chords thing as
Burrell . . . He takes sleek bebop flights of fancy and gets mellow with the best of them . . ."
- Mark Keresman, ICON (four stars)
"Whether skirting fusion or funk or bursting with modern melody, Smith's compositional style, musical direction and fret boarding hit that sweet spot between classic and experimental, improvisational and fine-tuned melody."
- Denise Sullivan, DownBeat Magazine
“Live dates often bring out the best not only in leaders, but in side players as well. That's the case with this fine date by guitarist Perry Smith.” - Jim Motavalli, NYC Jazz Record
