Johnny Smith, ex NYC NBC Staff guitarist...for both jazz and classical spproaches to the airwaves...

He was outside the box before guitarists ever heard of the term!
I recall catching a particulaar Johnny Smith Guitarist Gig at the Bee-Hive Jazz Club in Chicago (Circa 1955)...when the line-up of Guitar Pickers along the bar waited with baited breath for this guy who soared the charts playing Moonlight in Vermont, along with another "out of the box guy", Stan Getz!!

(Most of them guitarists in attendance, were either radio staff musicians (No TV in those days)...or local geetar first-call "cats", and they positioned themselves...beers and smiles were widely evident...and with this serene yet quizzical type of anticipation waited for him to "explode all over the fretboard!

be they augmented runs or diminished cryp-o-tonic chord-melody stuff....... 12ths, 13ths, or whatever the Penta-Perfectos !?!

"Out of Sight" ...AND....OUT OF THE BOX!

Of course, Johnny Smith was originally a trumpet player like you, my man!!
