Walter Smith III    

three of us are from Houston and Reuben is not

Sassofonista, compositore e didatta (dirige la divisione ance e flauti presso il prestigioso Berklee College of Music di Boston) Walter Smith III torna ad incidere come leader su etichetta Blue Note. Nel nuovo album rende omaggio alla sua città natale in Texas con three of us are from Houston and Reuben is not: titolo esilarante (e tutto in minuscolo come il precedente return to casual) in cui allude alla formazione, tutta di nativi di Houston – il pianista Jason Moran e il batterista Eric Harland – tranne il bassista Reuben Rogers, che proviene dalle Isole Vergini. Insieme affrontano un repertorio di dieci composizioni originali di Smith più una reinvenzione del classico di Sam Rivers "Point of Many Returns": tutto testimonia l’ascesa di Smith come uno dei maggiori protagonisti della scena contemporanea.
