Pianist Peter Smith brings his compositions to the fore with Mike Gurrola/b and Reggie Quinerly, mixing them with classy standards. He’s full fisted for a swinging “Carls’s Bag” with the team doubling down on the double timed “Dollar Dreams”.Gurrola is mellow with Quinerly on a restrained “Sweet Georgia Brown” with Quinerly graceful on a lovely “Alter Ego”. Smith taps into his inner Erroll Garner on ”Love For Sale” and brings Debussy’d lily pads out on ”Piece of A Dream”. His closing solo sonata of “Prayer For Jay” is a sublime capo to an impressive threesome of bopping bathing beauties.Peter Smith Trio: Dollar Dreams
