Peter Dent, NZ Musician, Reviews “Aurere”

“Singer/songwriter, pianist and sought-after vocal tutor Caitlin Smith is probably best known for her lounge jazz trio The Fondue Set, which has gigged extensively throughout the country. On Aurere, she is joined by a crack-team of players. All Members of this group inject Smith’s compositions with tasteful fervour, never getting in the way, but adding plenty of colour and texture. (Smith) produced, sung beautifully and played piano on three tracks. Everything about this album is classy, the cover, the sophisticated photography and especially, the music” Peter Dent, NZ Musician, Vol12, No 1 Feb/March 2005
