The twoenticingly swinging sessions brought together here find pianist Paul Smith intypically well-crafted form, with “The Big Men” a joyously engaging date inwhich he is heard performing solo or in a trio. Much skill, considerablefeeling, and unceasingly ebullient energy transform this album into athoroughly listenable program of modern jazz, throughout which his lines showstrong classical influence and clear indication of his imposing compositionaltalent (Theme for Theda). The playing of the trio is crisp and knowing, andthere are moments of brilliant musicianship by Smith with the fine support ofVinnegar and Levey, two swingers who keep the pulse vibrant.On Richard Rodgers’ Broadway musical “The Sound of Music,” guitarist BarneyKessel’s contributions are consistently good, and the rhythm section isunfailingly solid and supportive. Smith, as leader, is utterly relaxed andswinging, while still managing to be viscerally creative in an excellentdemonstration of the craftsmanship for which he was The Big Men (Paul Smith) 4:06
