When it comes to virtuosity and tasteful eclecticism, Scottish saxophone star Tommy Smith never disappoints. As the leader of a young and precociously talented quartet, he is indulging in a blend of old jazz standards, Scottish folk tunes, famous movie themes and roaming, Coltrane-like originals, all delivered with considerable panache.

The band features Curious Paradise pianist Steve Hamilton, whose McCoy Tyner-like cascades lend a cathedral ambience even to the lesser tunes. Drummer Alyn Cosker, 25 but looking more like 15, is boisterously uninhibited while bassist Aidan O'Donnell provides contrasting restraint and economy. Topping it all, Smith is his usual seasoned self, slipping with a chameleon's guile into the roles of evangelical preacher, late-night seducer and incurable romantic.

Old favourites such as Billy Strayhorn's The Flower Is a Lonesome Thing showcase the band's lugubrious side, Smith's saxophone pouring like syrup over Hamilton's sharply contoured glissandos. But they sound equally at home amid the spiky syncopations and jangling epiphanies of Lola, a Latin- flavoured original that Smith reliably tells us is a songa. Despite the tricky time signature, Cosker solos exuberantly over Hamilton's piano ostinato, and the piece ends in choppy exclamations.

It is during an extended suite called Spirit that the group really begins to stretch out, negotiating rhythmical quicksand and using Smith's periodic clarion calls as beacons. Thematically borrowing from Coltrane's A Love Supreme, the composition possesses an intense, devotional air and more densely packed playing from Hamilton. The band struggle to follow it, but a serene stroll through the theme from Spartacus and a spirited, multi-textured reworking of an ancient Scottish drinking song brings the performance to a satisfying conclusion. No earth-shattering innovations here, but plenty of fine ensemble playing and an agreeably varied programme.
