Features 24 bit remastering and comes with a mini-description. Paul Smith, jazz pianist, widely known as Ella Fritzgerald’s conductor and pianist, an active studio musician with a brilliant technique. Paul Smith also worked with renowned Jazz figures, such as: Dizzy Gillespie, Anita O’Day, Buddy DeFranco, Louie Bellson, Steve Allen, Louie Bellson, Stan Kenton, Mel Torme and many others. Pick of the day, Paul Smith’s rendition to Bossa Nova. This is Paul Smith Piano and Orchestra – Brazilian Detour (1966), for Warner. Paul Smith is a virtuoso piano player; he goes from the “liquid sounds” slow playing to a faster approach, hitting keys strongly. Paul Smith also leads the orchestra.

This album - "Brazilian Detour"- is the most direct route to what's new in the world of big popular piano. Paul takes the new, worldly, popular idiom of the bossa nova, translates it from its more common instrumental voice-the guitar-into a strong piano sound, and then travels a double road to the final statement. He takes a handful of familiar bossa nova tunes and gives them his Yankee jazz accent, then takes an equal number of non-Brazilian standards and originals and reverses his field. The result is a fresh and ear-grabbing blend of the two musics, proof again that Paul is a swinging something else.
