Hal  Smith is a joy to see and hear. He plays the truth. Jazz as it was  
intended. No wishy-washy polite genteel music, but hot and hit 'em in  
between the eyes - stuff.
Long may he prosper
 
I've known Hal for around 30 years. Everyone, friends  and musicians always 
used one word to describe his drumming,  "tasteful". Also for his washboard 
playing. He is an amazing drummer and I have  spent hours watching and 
listening to him.
