DOWNBEAT EDITOR PICK'S FEBRUARY 2018
DIGIPACK EDITION
This album features longstanding musical partners Harish Raghavan on double bass and Eric Harland on drums, with guests Joshua Redman and Christian McBride. The joyful freedom of Ferde Grofé’s ‘On the Trail’ captures precisely the intended spirit of Walter Smith III’s new album "Twio". Collaborating closely with established colleagues, Harish Raghavan and drummer Eric Harland, the Texas-native, California-based tenor saxophonist & composer presents his own illuminating vision of the saxophone trio.
