GREG'S SOUND 

 Smooth jazz, modern harmonies of contemporary classical music, a pinch of bebop, blues, and rock, all fused with the free flow of a good melody culminating in a beautiful listening experience. This music strikes an emotional chord that you will enjoy.

 


 

"Greg Smith has a warmth to his playing and his sound that is unique. His phrasing caresses you like a hug from an old friend." --- Chick Corea

 

 

"Greg is a great guitar player; he's got great technique, fabulous ideas, and his sense of timing is right on the mark. He's a true spiritual being with an unsurpassed seeking mind and will continue to fold the benefits of his humanistic quest into his ever-evolving musical expression." --- Larry Coryell

 

 

" Whenever you plan a project you want to include songs that people will relate to, feel familiar with. Then you want a variety to hold the interest of the listener. Then if you are doing cover music you want to be able to make it your own. Lastly you want to do something people will like. It has to have good technical quality as well as be warm and real. It is difficult as best to get all of this into a project. It takes class and talent and a dedication to your art. Greg Smith has indeed with " Beyond " found the way to put it all together. It is a great CD and one that you should never tire of listening to." --- Col Walt/Turtle Pond Music
