KARMA by Tommy Smith

K A R M A
BEST ALBUM – SCOTTISH JAZZ AWARDS 2011
SAY AWARD FINALIST

"The CD startles like jazz but feels like a rock." JAZZ TIMES, USA

BBC MUSIC MAGAZINE ★★★★★
“His tone is tungsten-tough or tender and nostalgic, his improvisations stimulating and affecting.”
SCOTSMAN ★★★★★
“His toughest and most creative quartet yet.”
IRISH TIMES ★★★★★
“Smith’s tenor is now the uniquely personal voice of a great player”
JAZZWISE ★★★★
“It is quite possibly his finest recording yet.”
GUARDIAN ★★★★
“A rare splicing of rich-toned, pipe-like themes, fiercely guttural up-tempo tenor improv, Arabic and Irish music.
MOJO ★★★★
“Scottish saxophonist/composer’s 24th album, one of his best.”
