the bridge between the two camps. Later career and legacy In a diverse career, Smythe worked and recorded with many other jazz musicians when they passed through Britain, including Stan Getz, Paul Gonsalves, Ben Webster, Eddie Lockjaw Davis, Zoot Sims and Bob Brookmeyer. He worked mainly as an accompanist in the London clubs throughout the 1970s, helping bring Scottish jazz vocalist Carol Kidd to prominence. After a long illness, he died in 1983 in London, England, at the age of 60. The Pat Smythe Memorial Trust was established two years later, as a registered charity to provide financial awards to young jazz musicians of outstanding talent. It was funded entirely from benefit concerts and gave awards to such musicians as Julian Arguelles, Jason Rebello and Nigel Hitchcock. The trust ran from 1985 to 2005, and is now defunct.
