Quote:
Widely overlooked today, New York session-guitarist Johnny Smith’s
Royal Roost debut is a minor masterpiece from a near-forgotten genius.
Smith’s prodigious technique, which allowed him to play entire,
melodically elevated solos using augmented chords rather than single
note runs, has never been topped, although Wes Montgomery came close a
decade later. Somewhat unexpectedly, given his own lush and laidback
style, Smith was the composer of "Walk Don't Run," a massive,
twanging, primeval rock ‘n’ roll hit for the Ventures in 1960. The
royalties from that and other cover versions allowed Smith to retire
to bucolic Colorado, where he opened a guitar store and became a music
teacher. Jazz At NBC includes ineffable readings of standards such as ‘Moonlight In Vermont,’ ‘Stars Fell On Alabama,’ ‘(I Don’t Stand) A
Ghost Of A Chance’ and ‘Tabu.’ Jazz guitar does not get more gorgeous
than this.
