”I’ve played the piano my whole life,” says Smith. ”While at Columbia University, I studied extensively with pianist Mike LeDonne. I’d say my primary influences are the titans of the fifties and sixties: Miles Davis, Ahmad Jamal, Cedar Walton, Wynton Kelly, Bill Evans, Tommy Flanagan... guys like that.” Regarding Peter's album HERE IT COMES, renowned bassist John B. Williams says: ”Peter Smith's artistic talents as pianist, composer, and singer reflect his inclusive and engaging nature as a man. This is a beautifully done CD with great performances by all. A truly memorable musical journey that one will enjoy taking again and again.”
