THE CAITLIN SMITH GROUP: Aurere

By Peter Dent
Singer/songwriter, pianist and sought-after Auckland vocal tutor Caitlin Smith is probably best known for her lounge jazz trio, The Fondue Set, which has gigged extensively around the country. On 'Aurere' she is joined by a crack team of players; drummer Rota Barrington, keyboardist Kevin Field, bassist Vanessa McGowan and guitarist Neil Watson for starters. All members of this group inject Smith's compositions with tasteful fervour, never getting in the way, but adding plenty of colour and texture. Guitar wunderkind Joel Haines even added his magic to one track before going away to mix and master the entire album. The leader produced, sang beautifully, and played piano on three tracks. Eleven of the 13 tracks are Caitlin Smith originals, with one each by Ross Mullins and Hoagy Carmichael. Everything about this album is classy, the cover, the sophisticated photography, and especially the music. www.caitlinsmith.com •
