Sounds Like
Lyrics and Melodies are like Randy Newman and early Tom Waits, the piano playing is similar to Dr. John, Bill Evans, Dave Brubeck and Keith Jarret : )
His style is soul blues/jazz/pop/groove and his lyrics are majical and dreamy, delivered with a sense of urgency. After the release of his debut EP "Introducing... Charlie Smyles" Charlie has been on a two year adventure of discovery working heavily on his craft as a songwriter/performer/pianist. Drawing from the experiences of living an alternate Melbourne northern inner city life, and being inspired by the many great and talented artists in the area Charlie feels that he has reached a moment of evolution with his music.
Joining him in the trio is Elliot (Bass) and Alex (Drums, plays for "Lamplight")

Errol Flynn's Pianist is screening at The One Minute Film and Video Festival in Aarau Switzerland from 21-23rd of August 2009. Aarau is a beautiful location in Switzerland, well worth the trip to see my sixty second film.
Errol Flynn's Pianist will screen yet again in Russia another two times, once in the Novgorod Kremlin in Nizhni and also at The Loft Project in Saint-Petersburg 2009. More detailed may be sourced from my latest post on snuffboxfilms.
So put a track of Bublitschki, make yourself a Kiev, and sit down to watch Dr. Zhivago as my short film has its third and fourth Russian Federation screening.
