Album Description

"Moonlight In Vermont" may have made Johnny Smith famous, but this 1954 session with rhythm guitarist Perry Lopez, bassist Arnold Fishkin and drummer Don Lamond is his masterpiece. Originally issued over two 10" LPs, these 13 songs shows an innovative guitarist with astonishing technique and lightning-fast mind. These gems are ripe for rediscovery in the guitar world. The closing "Lullaby Of Birdland" features Smith playing a duet with himself through early overdubbing. The title tune, a Johnny Smith original, became a Top Ten hit six years later for The Ventures. Remastered in 24 bit from the original mono tapes.

Classic guitar playing.......2006-11-10

How does one rate a singularity? There aren't enough stars. Johnny Smith is one of a kind and we all should be grateful to have the benefit of his talent and love for music and the guitar.

great cd WORTHLESS COPY PROTECT.......2006-11-10

I agree with all ppl saying this cd is wirth the money and contains great music, i really really do, therefor the 5 stars.

Now for rating the publisher minus 1278 stars, beware of new issues with "copy controlled" copy protection for it sucks big time. The cd might encounter "some problems on certain players like carstereo's ".
Well let me tell you, the thing will only play on my pc and on my cd player. I cant play it on any other stereo and not even on some ppl's normal cd players...... i thought about checking every cd i buy from now for the stamp of the copy protection being on or not but i see here that amazon doesnt have a picture where it is on the cd. So how can i be sure my next cd will not have the same stupid gimmick on it...
I will not buy any EMI cd's printed after 2004 anymore....

Enjoy a REALLY REALLY great cd but DO remember i warned you:)

The original "Walk, don't run".......2006-07-29

Until this CD came out last summer you had to either buy the Mosaic 8 disc set or the Japanese release of Kaleidoscope to hear Johnny play "Walk, don't run." Well, now you can hear it and it, alone, is worth the price of the disc. After hearing Johnny's version it's amazing how simple the Ventures' version seems. Even the great Chet Atkins played WDR for Johnny one time and Johnny graciously started playing along and Chet was speechless. Everything else is great on this disc too. Johnny Smith is legendary among jazz guitarists. Deservedly so. His chords and voicings are unlike anyone else. Then his single note lines are so fluid but musical. This is a great place to start listening to Johnny and also the Moonlight in Vermont CD, as well as Legends. Perhaps the greatest thing about Johnny is at the height of his popularity he gave it all up and left NYC to take care of his daughter after his wife's death. He never regretted it he says. You have, then, a music legend with the right priorities. A true class act. What will be really great is if Verve will ever put out their Johnny Smith CD (with his Gibson model on the cover)or someone will release his solo album, "The Man with the Blue Guitar" on CD.

Great recording, great artist.......2005-09-30

I mainly bought this CD to hear the original recording of "Walk Don't Run." Johnny Smith wrote it, Chet Atkins covered it, etc. For those of us who only ever heard the Ventures' version, it is a revelation that this was originally a jazz tune.

Oh yeah, the rest of the CD is excellent. Johnny Smith has very few recordings available, to my knowledge. I encourage all students and/or admirers of fine, melodic playing to seek out all of them.

The Legend of Smith.......2005-09-22

Johnny Smith a few years was essentially a forgotten man. Not well known amongst jazz guitarists, let alone the wider jazz community, a few years ago the vast majority of this man's work was out of print. Thankfully, all that is changing with releases such as this. 'Walk, don't run!' proves why Smith has been held in awe by his peers and fans alike and bears testimony to why he is regarded as one of the foremost post Charlie Christian guitarists. From the lightning fast runs of 'What's New' and 'Lover Man' to the chordal sophistication of 'Sophisticated Lady' and the boppish lines of 'I'll remember April' and ''S Wonderful', Smith was the complete musician. He has often been described as a 'scientist' because of the precision with which he plays; but don't let that put you off: his music is anything but cerebral. It's just that Smith had the most prodigious technique to express anything he wanted to with a beautiful, poetic tone: an artist and scientist in equal measure.

If you are a fan of jazz guitar this recording is essential. If you are a fan of jazz this record is still essential. For those of you who feel perhaps that the guitar still doesn't 'cut it' like horns do, an anecdote: when Smith played at Birdland, Bird himself was one of Smith's biggest fans, consistently sitting near the front listening intently to Smith. That in itself should be good enough recommendation to buy this.

Mr. Breakstone: Walk Don't Ruin It!.......2002-11-17

This guy is obviously just trying to cash in on the Ventures fame, but what I found most disturbing was his liner notes. He bashes surf music and surf music fans while going on about how he's improved on the music. Whatever dude!

Your music isn't that great.

An outstanding CD of swing jazz........1999-03-23

All of Joshua Breakstone's releases are at least above average, but this CD, and "Self-Portrait In Swing" are especially good. This is a can't miss CD that you will enjoy when you first get up in the morning, or in the evening, as you are winding down your day. Highly recommended.

Product Description

Killer musicianship, tight grooves, story songs to tongue-in-cheek avant-funk oddities. Keven Brennan's music has been described as "a bubbling stew of psychedelic funk," with eclectic influences ranging from the funk of the Meters and Parliament/Funkadelic, to the offbeat humor of Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa, to the imagery and poeticism of Tom Waits and David Byrne. Blag Dahlia of The Dwarves described Keven as "a rhymer whose tunes run hot like Cajun gumbo, then cool like a drunk in a coffee house." Just as eclectic and encompassing are his talents as singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, including saxophones, clarinet, bass clarinet, guitars, keyboards, drums and percussion. Board the funky spaceship and ride past the shuffling shoes and slack-jawed gawkers... destination Keven Brennan.
