OT - RIP - Johnny Smith

2013-06-20 by Robert

Legendary jazz guitarist Johnny Smith passed away on June 11th. He was probably my favorite jazz guitarist of all time, and I like them all. If you like jazz guitar, but haven't ever heard of him, I recommend that you check him out. Simply wonderful !

And take a look at that beautiful archtop guitar (in the NY Times Obituary picture); I believe that guitar was custom made for him by Gibson.
