"Moods" Many people were unable to appreciate the accordion until Art Van Damme introduced the sublety of playing an extraordinary tone he achieved on his instrument and there were many who could not enjoy harmonica until the advent of the Toots Theillmans' manner of playing with its control and beauty and fluidity that made it seem anything but the ordinary harmonica. So it has been with the guitar. Out of the range of cowboy and imitation hillbilly guitarists and the guitar used for popular song backgrounds, came a vibrant guitar sounding unfamiliar to any before it. For guitarist Johnny Smith made it to be the lyrical instrument it is. Thus it is that Johnny Smith is a very special musician. Influenced by the earlier guitarists, he brought something to the music form that it had never before possessed so notably - beautiful jazz. He has attracted a great many people to jazz because his playing is beautiful without complication. Because they have appreciated his guitar, they've been naturally exposed to other jazz. Many have said, "If this is jazz, then I like it!" He has therefore done something to break down some of the superficial prejudices people have about this music. (For as much as one would like to think otherwise, much of the general public still considers jazz as "something loud and blary".) In this album, you will savour moments of sound that are by turn beautiful, exciting and melancholy. You will hear a guitar similar to that of the Spanish: passionate, deeply emotional and filled with the fire that comes from a highly personal conviction on the part of the performer - something that has always been considered akin to the personal daring of the bullfighter. And although he does not play with the same fervour or amplitude of the Flamenco guitarist (because he isn't that person), his insinuations are just as dynamic and exciting even with their controlled essence or subtlety. He plays a guitar as authentic as the Flamenco and it is quite remarkable when you consider that Johnny is self-taught musician. You might not expect to hear names like Tchaikowsky or Bach or Beethoven where he is concerned, but his appearances in the classical field have been so extensive that it makes up a large part of his background and this is considered quite an honour for any jazzman. Notwithstanding the classics, Johnny's main desire has been to play jazz and to play jazz whose emphasis on beauty. One reason, perhaps, why he has been able to attain so much beauty has been his lack of mechanical training. It has left him with a virgin sound in music. It is interesting also, that this self-taught musician is so well known for his flawless technique. In his playing, Johnny strives to put you at ease, to relax you to listen, clear the musical air. This is a fine album. There is especially good music and refreshing ideas, there is the amazing technical precision Johnny possesses and there is an honest approach. About anyone else these might be the familiar generalities but about Johnny Smith they are specific. SHIRLEY HOSKINS COLLINS. |
