  • Johnny Smith's chord melodies will bring tears to your eyes. That's the beauty of his playing.

  • Thank you so much for posting this! I love Johnny Smith music.

  • My favorite musician. Johnny is a virtuoso on several instruments. One of the nicest people on the planet.

  • “Johnny Smith set the standard for excellence in guitar playing,” asserts the remarkable Jimmy Bruno, adding that, “Johnny remains the standard we all aspire to, and there’s no one, even among today’s leading innovators, who has approached his levels of virtuosity…and musicality.”

  • Johnny is as classy a gentleman as he is a jazz guitar genius! I've heard everything he has recorded plus some live things and he is amazing. Chops to no end yet can play chords sweet enough to make you tear up! Imagine Django and Johnny together at a restaurant.... I'd pick up that tab any day!

  • THanks for uploading!! Love JS! I was at the JVC tribute to JS ..he must have been interviewed shortly before or after the great concert they had for him. Great posT!

  • I just finished reading "La Tristesse de Saint-Louis" by Mike Zwerin, his study of jazz during the Nazi regime, and he had many anecdotes about Django, but I never heard this one before, so it's always great to hear new stories about Django. Thanks for p[osting this.

  • This man is my president!!!
