Genre: Jazz, NZ music
Places I remember: JB Hi Fi
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Kids At Play
Gear costume: Madam Butterfly
Active compensatory factors: Brian Smith (interestingly, also the name of my father-in-law) has been a titan of NZ jazz circles for many years. This Brian Smith's tenor and soprano sax work is masterful. My father-in-law Brian Smith is a jazz fan, but a non-musician.

Brian's joined by the legendary Billy Kristian on bass for a few songs, and a variety of other friends throughout this album of smooth NZ jazz.
As readers of this blog know, I prefer the sax, piano, bass, drums quartet. Taupo has three tracks with that set up, most of the other songs have Kim Patterson on trumpet or flugel horn. I enjoy those ones as well, as Kim has a nice tone and style in his playing.
Where do they all belong? Next up in the jazz collection - James Taylor. Not that one, the other one.
