The Tommy Smith Youth Jazz Orchestra just has to be listened to.
Their musicianship, enthusiasm and obvious delight at playing together come across in what is a wonderful evening of Jazz.
They are, quite simply, one of the most talented, exciting and dynamic young jazz ensembles on the planet.
Under Tommy Smith’s unassuming leadership, musicians, some of them as young as twelve, have been encouraged, nurtured and directed into a highly disciplined, superbly creative unit where their personalities are allowed to develop and shine.
Their enthusiasm for the music tumbles out of every live performance, as recent Tolbooth audiences will testify.
“An attractive and skillfully assembled work that is coherent, imaginative and beautifully performed.” The Scotsman
