About this album

He Sells Jazz By The Sea Shore is a breezy but polished cool jazz set that finds The Paul Smith Trio balancing swing, bop and melodic ease. Issued in 1965, the album draws on familiar standards such as Laura, Satin Doll, Fly Me To The Moon and It’s All Right With Me, reworking them with supple trio interplay and an unfussy sense of style. Paul Smith’s reputation as a versatile pianist, equally at home in jazz and popular song, gives the record its appeal: approachable on the surface, but grounded in clean phrasing, rhythmic lift and tasteful improvisation that reward close listening.
