Doug Smith's new documentary "There It Is" produced by KACV
TV in Amarillo, Texas, dives into the life of one of the most
driven, inspired, awesome, and creative pianist/composers
in the southwest!
This double disc set includes one DVD, mixed
in 5.1 surround sound, and one audio CD that includes 3 bonus
tracks, "Passion", "Moon Over Quitaque", and "Amazing Grace".
Personal interviews with Doug in his studio at home, and with
friends, contemporaries, and family members that are key witnesses
to his personal life as well as influences in his music, his
recording, and his very unique and original approach to piano
performance.
The performance setting is beautiful
as it documents Smith performing, as he put it....."These
are the songs that are the closest to my heart" and the piano
is a 9' concert Steinway Grand, and as he put it....."The
9' Steinway is such a sweet and perfect instrument.....when
I sit down and address her she responds, reacts, reflects,
and obeys my every command and always rises to a higher dimension
of pure piano bliss that never ceases to amaze me...... In
my mind, the most elegant, versatile, completely awesome,
beautiful, powerful, and prestigious instrument on planet
earth!"
For all you folks who listen
and love Doug Smith's music, this is a collection of works
and music and a very close, personal, and real human glance
into the life of a pianist and original composer with a huge
view of a very large West Texas Horizon. "The piano sings
its own song......"
