"…the guitar sets the trumpet remarkably well, and Smoker is always up to something interesting. A-" — Tom Hull (www.tomhull.com)

"I loved this band's "Cool Lives" tremendously, especially its modern take on jazz without relinquishing tradition, amplified by its often adventurous openness to structural development of the themes… The playing is as good as on the previous album, the overall tone remains intense and precise…" — Stef, The Free Jazz Blog. www.freejazzblog.org/2014/04/paul-smoker-and-phil-haynes.html

PAUL SMOKER: trumpet, composer, educator (1941-2016):
"What Paul Smoker produced on his horn was unheard of in these latitudes; his complete command of his instrument allowed him to play whatever extravaganza he would think of… To the widely discussed question about the future development of the jazz trumpet, [his] musical concept could definitely constitute a far-reaching answer."
