Post Jazz Guitarist Johnny Smith RIP
Found out last night via stickist extraordinaire Chuck Hughes that Jazz Guitar legend Johnny Smith has passed away.
http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2013 ... r-has-died

So far all the obituaries I've seen make a big deal that he wrote "Walk, Don't Run" which was a big hit for the Ventures. Johnny's legacy is much broader than that. I have the box set "The Complete Roost Johnny Smith Small Group Sessions" - just gorgeous playing and arranging. A big inspiration to me.

Moonlight in Vermont was his signature tune for a long while :

Wow, that was gorgeous. The arrangement and the soloing both had those nice little moments that surprise and delight.
