I’ve recently discovered Eddie Smith, a Los Angeles based jazz pianist, and what a delightful discovery it was! Eddie’s playing is simply masterful and delightful. His vast repertoire of jazz standards is impressive and his renditions of the beloved songs are always tasteful and unique. His flawless piano technique and knowledge of his craft make him one of the most enjoyable jazz pianists to listen to. His sophisticated playing creates a pleasant and relaxed ambiance. Eddie Smith is the real deal… Elna Myburg, Texas based Jazz Pianist
