The Scottish saxophonist makes his Linn debut with an album of originals for trio.
Tommy Smith's Linn debut features Terje Gewelt on bass and Ian Froman on drums. Ten tracks of original jazz material, mostly written by Smith himself, share a distinctly Scottish flavour.
Fans of Smith's trademark saxophone playing will understand why one critic described him as "a world-class hornsman with serious chops and swagger to match." Enjoy!
