Johnny Smith's best-known album, 1952's MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT (also the title of his signature song), assured the guitarist a place in jazz history. While saxophone legend Stan Getz is a prominent guest on the record, and certainly threatens to steal the show on numerous occasions, the spotlight never strays too far from Smith, who easily entrances with his supremely laid-back style. Consisting almost entirely of standards, MOONLIGHT is ideal for lulling listeners to sleep (in the most pleasing sense), as Smith's spare, chiming six-string lines gently mesh with the subtle rhythmic backing and Getz's resonant sax playing, as revealed on lilting renditions of "Where or When" and "Stars Fell on Alabama." Of course, the title track is the main attraction of the disc, garnering its reputation with gorgeously delicate work by the entire ensemble. The epitome of Smith's mesmerizing, soporific style of jazz, MOONLIGHT IN VERMONT is all that most listeners will need by this amiable artist.
All of guitarist Johnny Smith's most important recordings are on this definitive CD reissue. The talented guitarist (who always featured a very attractive tone and a relaxed style) had a major hit with "Moonlight in Vermont," thanks in large part to tenor saxophonist Stan Getz (who is heard on seven of the selections), and Smith was quite popular during the first half of the 1950s. This CD has all of the guitarist's 1952-1953 recordings except for three cuts (two done with organist Joe Mooney) and has a previously unreleased alternate take of "Jaguar." With such sidemen as Getz or fellow tenors Zoot Sims and Paul Quinichette and a solid rhythm section, Smith brings melodic beauty to a variety of standards, including "Where or When," "My Funny Valentine," "Tenderly," and "Cherokee." Recommended. [The remastered edition restores the original track listing and includes one alternate take of "Jaguar."] ~ Scott Yanow
This reissue contains Smith's famous rendition of "Moonlight In Vermont" as well as an alternate version of "Jaguar" and 6 additional tracks, 3 of which feature Stan Getz.

There's a huge range of Hindu devotional music in the Indian state of Kerala, which sits on the Arabian Sea, separated from the rest of the subcontinent by mountains. In that isolation, the music has taken on interesting tones; some traditions, like the massive percussion orchestras or the use of the C-shaped horn called the kombu, have remained almost static, while the singing in the temples ...

Music Industry News Network MONDAY, APRIL 10TH _____ Smother Magazine » Music Reviews » World Music, Adult Contemporary, Country, Jazz Music Reviews of World Music, Adult Contemporary, Reggae, Jazz, Blues, ClassicalStephen Pfister — Coastal GroovesBuy it now! Let me first preface this by saying I totally love the sound of a Hammond organ. I mean who doesn’t?!? Stephen Pfister makes use of the aforementioned instrument of beauty along with piano on “Coastal Grooves”. Smooth instrumental jazz with layers of funky blues intertwined, “Coastal Grooves” is an organ nut’s wet dream. You’ll find yourself tapping your toes along with the groovy downtempo beats and the fantastic piano and organ rhythms. Good stuff.From HBH - review:http//www.smooth-jazz.de/starportrait/Pfister/CoastalGroovesStephen Pfister - Coastal Grooves Do you remember James Taylor, Roger Smith, Mauri Sanchis, Kimo Cornwell, George Mitchell, Rickey Peterson? All artists are playing the legendary Hammond B3. If you dig this sound don't miss Stephen Pfister's new album "Coastal Grooves". He has the ability to use his instrument in all its profoundness. Stephen Pfister played with Blues singer "Big Pete Pearson". Currently he lives and plays in the Downeast Maine region (Blue Hill, Bar Harbor and Bangor, USA) and writes, produces and records his own music. CD's since 2001 include "Less is More" and "Cold hands- Warm Heart". He cites the influence of Les McCann, Ramsey Lewis and Jimmy Smith with a little Dr. John thrown in.His third album is a brilliant concourse of Hammond B3 and piano. Stephen Pfister wrote and performed all songs. It's incredible that he reaches that high level of perfection doing all in self-mode. The album starts with Golden. Stephen lets the B3 sound grow and layers on this sound his piano grooves. Build Me Up/Help Me is the longest tune of this album but there is no filler. The piano melody is assessable and attractive. In between he builds a bridge with keyboards and organ returning to the lead melody on piano at the end of the tune. Personally I would prefer some variations of the rhythm. Using drum-loops is just an expedient.With Radio Friendly Stephen Pfister intends a certain promoting of his album on Americans smooth jazz radio stations. ...

Mike DiMeo - vocals / Jason Hodges - guitar / Adam Smith - guitar, bass, keys / Tim Yatras - drums Produced by Adam SmithMixed and mastered by Tommy Hansen at Jailhouse Studios, DenmarkMusic arranged by Smith/Hodges Track Listing of songs: Mothcaste / Hibernal Thaw / Tar Pit / Omnipaedia / Xerophyte / Nubia Awakes / Ageless Decay / Eocene Dawning / Fragmented Glory / The Neo-Mortician / The Little Witch Of Madagascar / Idolatry Ilium is a melodic power metal band with strong roots in the classic heavy metal sound as purveyed by the likes of Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, from Newcastle, Australia. The band has already released three albums and is currently poised to release their fourth album 'Ageless Decay' on Escape Music.Guitarist Jason Hodges and original vocalist Mark Snedden formed the band as Iliad in 1998 having previously played together in Oracle in the early 1990s. This embryonic version of the band also included former Oracle guitarist Kris Arendse and the final Oracle bassist Michael Noonan, as well as drummer David Pearson. With the introduction of Adam Smith (also formerly of Oracle) on guitar, the band changed its name to Ilium, with Kris leaving the band after a brief stint with three guitarists. In 2002 the band commenced work on their eponymous debut EP produced by Lord Tim, but Michael Noonan played on only two tracks before leaving the band, with Adam Smith completing the bass duties and yet another former Oracle member Matthew Woodland joining the band shortly before it's release. The EP, which included a cover of the Fleetwood Mac/ Judas Priest classic 'The Green Manalishi (With The Two-Pronged Crown)', gained the attention of several notable labels, including Sentinel Steel boss Denis Gulbey, with Italian label Adrenaline's metal label Steelheart signing the band for the release of their debut.Ilium then began recording the debut album Sirens of the Styx with Dungeon's Lord Tim producing and Steve Moore playing drums. The album was released on 18 December 2003. It contained the track "Incipience: Beowulf Defeats Grendel", part one of a trilogy centred around the Beowulf legend. (Parts 2 and 3 are included on "Vespertilion".) Another song, "The Celestial Sphere", later became the subject of Ilium's first ...
