Hot Sonatas
Gary Smart (piano), Christine Gustafson (flute), Michael Finckel (cello), Guy Yehuda (clarinet)
Gary Smart notes: The three duo sonatas on this recording are "hot" in that they flow out of the American jazz tradition, "sonatas" in that they utilize classical sonata form and its associated developmental techniques. Composer Gunther Schuller coined the term "third-stream music" to label the musical fusion of the jazz and classical musical traditions. I like his term. I think it suits these sonatas of mine better than most other labels."

"The listener who enjoys the music with a good cup of coffee will likely appreciate Smart's work."

"Smart's music emphasizes grace and suavity. ...Smart's music unapologetically embraces a lightness of spirit,...that doesn't diminish its honesty, directness, and skill."
