Paul Thatcher Smith (April 17, 1922 – June 29, 2013) was an American jazz pianist.[1] He performed in various genres of jazz, most typically bebop, but is best known as an accompanist of singers, especially Ella Fitzgerald.[2][3] Smith was born in San Diego, California to parents, Lon Smith and Constance Farmer, who were vaudeville performers and encouraged his interest in music. He began studying piano at age 8, and led a jazz band in high school and became a professional musician at 19 with the Johnny Richards band. After playing with Richards in 1941 and spending 1943 to 1945 in the military,[2] Smith worked with Les Paul (1946–1947) and Tommy Dorsey (1947–1949) before moving to Los Angeles and becoming a studio musician. Studio work took up much of his time: he worked as a staff musician for NBC and Warner Brothers, and for many years he was the musical director for Dinah Shore’s daytime talk show.

All of our records are ultrasonically cleaned. Ultrasonically cleaning a record brings back the highs and lows of a record. Ultrasound technology has been shown to be highly effective at removing contaminants from the surface of vinyl records, which can significantly improve by reducing the amount of noise and distortion caused by dirt and debris, ultrasonic cleaners can help you hear your music more clearly and with greater detail. For audiophiles who value every nuance of their music, this is a major advantage.
