Walter Smith III: Twio
by Roger Farbey
The unashamedly retro cover art of Twio accurately signposts the content of this imaginative album's track selection of jazz classics and standards.

This involves the twin tenors of Smith and guest ...

However, the proper meaning of formidable in this context is more to be taken as the presence of the master. Here and now, in ...
Cory Weeds: Let's Groove: The Music of Earth Wind & Fire
