Walter Smith III, saxophone
Jason Moran, piano
Reuben Rogers, bass
Kendrick Scott, drums
For his recent wryly titled Blue Note release, three of us are from Houston and Reuben is not, the irrepressible saxophonist Walter Smith III pays homage to his hometown. In the jazz series kickoff, this supergroup of brothers in arms celebrates the Bayou City with evocative songs like 610 Loop, Lone Star, Cezanne and Montrose Nocture.
“His tone and melodicism are just killing with a flow of ideas that’s vast and beautiful…outstanding”
— Downbeat
