Saxophonist Walter Smith III pays homage to his hometown of Houston, Texas on his sophomore Blue Note album, 'three of us are from Houston and Reuben is not', the follow-up to 2023's 'return to casual'. The album's wry title signifies the lineup, which includes fellow Houston natives - pianist Jason Moran and drummer Eric Harland - while bassist Reuben Rogers, who hails from the Virgin Islands, rounds out the quartet. Together they enliven 10 compelling Smith originals and an imaginative rendering of a Sam Rivers composition - all of which speaks to Smith's ascending status as one of modern jazz's most engaging talents of his generation.
