Pianist-composer, Aki Antonia reflects on the musical legacy of the Smith's at the SMITHOLOGY Concert.

"I was told by father, pianist, Paul Smith, that the Jazz Showcase club owner, Joe Segal used to listen to Al's father, my uncle, pianist-composer, Lloyd Smith at sessions held Roosevelt University, Chicago Musical College back in the day. It was also where my Aunt Geneive attended musical college as a prodigy with Dean Ganz. RU-CMC is my alumus as well. "

"It is interesting to see and hear the generations of music and feel the circle of life in this concert." This concert reminded me of the many musical concerts and sessions held at my grandfather's home; at my father's home and in my own home with the Smith's."
