(a
letter from John Borkowski, Disk Makers, Philadelphia, PA)
Doug
Smith could have called his latest release "There it is & Wow!"
or "Speechless" because tha'Ős exactly the effect on the listener
as they participate in this musical journey, looking into the soul
of a man who's musical intellect and spirituality are surpassed
by very few in the world. Within seconds it is evident that his
love of music and art is second only to his love of family and the
experience of life. Doug
Smith's playing cannot be exaggerated, because it possesses a perfectionist
quality that makes it overwhelming while comforting, and new while
distantly familiar.
It's
hard to imagine where Doug Smith's body stops and the piano starts.
His physical technique and phrasing are as effortless as breath,
making him one with the instrument and his music. His lullaby like
soothing and warming melodies showcase his conversational approach
to the piano, and when he chooses to command the instrument, his
thunderous renderings display the depth, richness and beauty that
only a premium concert Steinway Grand can produce.
Listening
to Doug Smith play is like watching a world-renowned painter create
his masterpiece, effortlessly. He creates from an infinite pallet
of colors and draws from his vast knowledge of music, so much so
that his works are unclassifiable. Placing the restriction of a
genre on his songs would be an injustice. Doug
Smith transitions from classical, jazz, rock, blues, pentatonic,
new age, gospel, honky-tonk, and traditional styles as seamlessly
as walking through an open door. Each of his songs are self-contained
epics that tell a complete story containing all the elements of
life experience. This project goes far beyond music; it treats the
listener to an experience bigger than Texas and as big as life.
Anyone
who thinks that they have heard a piano, anyone who lives life for
the experience, and anyone who likes to watch a true musical master
create his art, owes it to himself or herself to add this CD/DVD
release to their collection. Get ready for something truly new,
refreshing, familiar, and amazing. Enjoy the ride!
Keep
up the great work Doug! It really makes a difference!
John
Borkowski, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
