John Henry "Johnny" Smith (June 25, 1922 – June 11, 2013) was an American cool jazz and mainstream jazz guitarist. He wrote the tune "Walk, Don't Run" in 1954. He was born in Birmingham, Alabama.
During the Great Depression, Smith's family moved from Birmingham through several cities, ending up in Portland, Maine.
Smith taught himself to play guitar in pawnshops, which let him play in exchange for keeping the guitars in tune. At thirteen years of age he was teaching others to play the guitar. One of Smith's students bought a new guitar and gave him his old guitar, which became the first guitar Smith owned.
Smith joined Uncle Lem and the Mountain Boys, a local hillbilly band that travelled around Maine, performing at dances, fairs and similar venues. Smith earned four dollars a night. He dropped out of high school to accommodate this enterprise.
Having become increasingly interested in the jazz bands that he heard on the radio, Smith gradually moved away from country music towards playing more jazz. He left The Mountain Boys when he was eighteen years old to join a variety trio called the Airport Boys.
Johnny and Johnnie refer to:
New York is a state in the Northeastern United States and is the United States' 27th-most extensive, fourth-most populous, and seventh-most densely populated state. New York is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south and Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border in the Atlantic Ocean with Rhode Island, east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec to the north and Ontario to the west and north. The state of New York, with an estimated 19.8 million residents in 2015, is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City, the state's most populous city and its economic hub.
With an estimated population of nearly 8.5 million in 2014, New York City is the most populous city in the United States and the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. The New York City Metropolitan Area is one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world. New York City is a global city, exerting a significant impact upon commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment, its fast pace defining the term New York minute. The home of the United Nations Headquarters, New York City is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural and financial capital of the world, as well as the world's most economically powerful city. New York City makes up over 40% of the population of New York State. Two-thirds of the state's population lives in the New York City Metropolitan Area, and nearly 40% live on Long Island. Both the state and New York City were named for the 17th century Duke of York, future King James II of England. The next four most populous cities in the state are Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse, while the state capital is Albany.

He continued to play locally and make occasional trips back to the Big Apple to record. The two sessions included on The Sound of the Johnny Smith Guitar were the results of two trips in 1960 and 1961. Just about everything goes right on these sessions. Smith's guitar especially shines in the company of pianist Hank Jones, bassist George Duvivier, and drummer Ed Shaughnessy in the second set. There's a lovely, soulful version of "'Round Midnight," with a nice long solo by Smith (he even bends a blue note or two) and a shorter, though poignant one, by Jones. The band goes into overdrive for "This Can't Be Love," filling it with bouncy rhythm and sharp lead work. Pianist Bob Pan...
One of the grooviest records we've ever heard from guitarist Johnny Smith — a sweet batch of mellow tunes, played with some warm chromatic touches ! Smith still has that wonderful tone here that he first exhibited on his 50s recordings, but he also works in a style that's a bit more fluid — cast in a small group setting, but somehow picking up the breezier touches of the Verve sound of the time. Titles include "Walk Don't Run", "By Myself", "Choror Da Saudade", "Dreamsville", and "Old Folks". © 1996-2010, Dusty Groove America, Inc.

The gentle genius of guitarist Johnny Smith — perfectly captured in this late nite trio session from the 50s ! There's a lot more jazz here than you might guess from the "easy listening" title — and Johnny's working with drummer Charlie Mastropaolo and bassist George Roumanis, in a style that's very much in keeping with his other best Roost work at the time. Smith has this way on the strings that's like few other players of his time — a style of playing the guitar that's so gentle, so spacious, the notes come off the instrument almost by themselves — with a lightly ringing quality that's the best part of the unique Johnny Smith tone...

A FREE ALBUM and further music and video from this student of Johnny Smith, of Ustad Amir Khan, and many more, are at https://tomross1.bandcamp.com and https://vimeo.com/121517805. In 1988 I did an interview with my teacher, the great jazz guitarist Johnny Smith. As far as I know it's the only of its kind. John is gracious and insightful, as ever. Finally this hour-long exchange of music and talk is available to everyone! My formal training with Johnny Smith ended in my teens, but I returned to my home town of Colorado Springs regularly to see him as well as friends and family. He'd spent decades in The Apple recording and playing at NBC and the clubs, and he liked to say that his favorite view of the city was in his rear-view mirror when he headed West. And he claimed he'd chosen the S...

Written by Frank Foster and performed by the Johnny Smith Quartet at Figaro's on the 4th October 1981
As Good as it Gets, Special Thanks to Dan Johnson and others that shared these rare clips! ...My Guitar mentor (Jim Day) wrote: "In 1963 my first Jazz Mentor, Ralph Mutchler gave me a scholarship to the Stan Kenton Clinics in Reno. All I had to do was teach a class of intermediate jazz guitar students and one combo a day and that was it. Johnny Smith was my inspiration and he was going to be there teaching the advanced gtr. class. We were there for 3 weeks and became good friends. He offered to teach me privately every day. For my audition I played his version of Moonlight in Vermont. Amazed that I could reach "His inversions" of the chords, he held up his hand and his fingers were 1 inch longer than mine. I was playing an L-5 at the time and he suggested I buy a Johnny Smith. The JS was 1...

This is a record that has little so called “jazz”. It does have something else going for it however. It has beautiful music. Nine wonderful standards and Johnny’s own composition, “My Dear Little Sweetheart”. The arrangements are all by Johnny with full string section (twelve violins, two cellos, and two violas), as well as bass and drums. Johnny’s own song, “My Dear Little Sweetheart” was recorded by Sarah Vaughan in 1960. This is a highly emotional recording with Johnny sounding at times like a viola or cello. The inner voicings in the string section are an indication of the depth of how Johnny Smith can hear the subtlety of the harmony. This is a rare achievement. The lush orchestrations are very touching and dreamy. Who else can play a triad and make it sound so right? The intonati...

Videocover Of Johnny "Hammond" Smith's Remastered Album: Talk That Talk. Remastered 2015
All my girlfriends are gettin' married
They're gonna be brides, they're dressin' in white
They're droppin' like flies
All my girlfriends are talkin' 'bout babies
They're poppin' 'em out, and strollin' around
Get me out of this town
I ain't ready for a new last name
I don't wanna be nobody's ball and chain
The reason for a Friday night poker game
I don't wanna be another desparate housewife
Doin' dirty laundry on a Saturday night
I don't wanna be somebody's "Baby, bring me another Bud Light"
Whatever
'Cause all my girlfriends are gettin' married
They're gonna be brides, they're dressin' in white
They're droppin' like flies
And all my girlfriends are talkin' 'bout babies
They're poppin' 'em out, and strollin' around
Get me out of this town
Their hitchin' it up is wearin' me out
And tyin' the knot's all they're talkin' about
I'm so sick and tired of hearin' their vows
This bein' maid-of-honor's keepin' me from makin' out
'Cause all my girlfriends are gettin' married
Well, I swear every time I get Mama on the phone
She's tellin' me another good man got gone
It seems like every other dang weekend, I'm goin' back home
'Cause all my girlfriends are gettin' married
They're gonna be brides, they're dressin' in white
They're droppin' like flies
And all my girlfriends are talkin' 'bout babies
They're poppin' 'em out, and strollin' around
Get me out of this town
They're gonna be brides, they're dressin' in white
They're droppin' like flies
