Johnny Smith - Audio/Video

There are several audio recordings and regrettably few video recordings of Johnny Smith available to hear/view on Youtube. Listed below are some examples which together demonstrate the wide range of his musical work as well as his virtuosity.

The selection includes representations of Johnny’s work with his own jazz combo, his solo guitar chord-melody arrangements, his work accompanying female vocalists, and a performance of Max DiJulio’s Concerto for Electric Guitar and Orchestra, which was composed specifically for Johnny Smith. Two interviews with Johnny are also included.
