The album marked both Smith’s 50th year and the 50th anniversary of Coltrane’s passing. A lifelong Coltrane disciple, Smith now celebrates this powerful music to honour his greatest inspiration as the Coltrane centenary approaches in 2026. A commanding force in jazz since his teens, Smith toured globally with Gary Burton at 18 and signed to Blue Note at 21. Today, he stands as one of Europe’s most formidable saxophonists. Critically acclaimed: “Unselfconscious honesty, emotional and spiritual.” — Jazzwise“An outstanding achievement.” — The Scotsman“Smith’s eloquence on a saxophone is all his own.” — The Guardian“A master class in individual virtuosity.” — Downbeat Magazine“Smith really is a modern master of the tenor sax.” — London Jazz News Endorsed by legends: “Tommy ranks with the best.” — Dave Liebman“A prince among jazz musicians.” — Kurt Elling“A unique sound

Kresten Osgood - drums Erik Kimestad (NO) - trumpet Mads Egetoft - saxophone Jeppe Zeeberg - piano Matthias Petri - bass I godt 20 år har Kresten Osgood været centralt placeret i dansk musikliv. Han er blevet kaldt “det bedste der er sket i dansk jazz siden 80’erne”, “Vildmanden i det danske jazzvåbenskjold” og avisoverskriften i Information: ”tendensen i dansk jazz hedder Osgood” er ikke til at tage fejl af. I al den tid har Osgood været identificeret med sin faste gruppe: “Kresten Osgood Og Hvad er Klokken”, som har gjort verden usikker med sine ekstreme koncerter, hvor alle yderpunkter er blevet afprøvet. De seneste år har Osgood desuden taget favntag med en ny kvintet, som er helt hans egen. Sammen tager de markante medlemmer af kvintetten udgangspunkt i Osgoods kompositioner i en legesyg og kreativ udforskning af jazzens væsen.
