Saxophone virtuoso Tommy Smith wows with a selection of Ellington and Strayhorn standards, featuring Kenny Barron on piano. Upon release the album reached Number 20 in the American Gavin Jazz Chart. Recorded in New York in 1997 Tommy Smith reveals himself to be a consummate ballad player on this laid back selection of classics.

Jazz musicians have provided so many Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn tributes over the years that in the late ’90s, one greeted an Ellington/Strayhorn homage with the question ‘Do we really need yet another one?’ The frustrating thing was how safe many of those tributes continued to be – instead of taking chances and turning their attention to some of Ellington and Strayhorn’s lesser-known works, many players chose only the most obvious standards. That’s exactly what Tommy Smith does on The Sound of Love, a relaxed Ellington/Strayhorn tribute that unites him with pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Peter Washington, and drummer Billy Drummond. A 30-year-old Smith plays with plenty of soul throughout the CD, and the captivating Barron does the same. © Alex Henderson
