Mike Smith – On A Cool Night

Description

Mike Smith – On A Cool Night
Delmark DE 448
Compact Disc (1991)

Featuring Ron Friedman

Maybe you’ve seen Mike Smith in the lead alto chair backing Frank Sinatra (whose tunes Mike will be featured playing in an upcoming release entitled “Sinatra Songbook”). Or perhaps you’ve seen him in one of Chicago’s jazz spots heading his own fiery mainstream quintet. Even if you haven’t, prepare to be knocked out by the album in your hands. It’s Smith’s Quintet at their most dynamic, displaying the inventiveness that’s made Mike a growing attraction and the solid musicality that won him a place playing behind one of the most renowned performers in the world.
