Judge Smith‘s oeuvre may not be exactly labyrinthine, but there are fairly famous works in his discography, such as 2000’s “Curly’s Airships” which featured a lot of luminaries, and rather obscure opuses too, including the brilliant "Mr. Mckilowatts Dances" from 2023. And then, there are things that fall between these two categories, things like “The Kibbo Kift” which the esteemed artist wrote with composer Maxwell Hutchinson fifty years ago but never moved past the pure stage phase, the musical’s riveting, and quite educational, libretto taking pride of place in the veteran’s lyrics anthology and whetting many of his fans’ appetite for hearing this opus. Soon, it will be possible, however.
