GREG SMITH (Guitar) - above the clouds

Greg Smith, as favored by legendary jazz artists Chick Corea and Larry Coryell as a great guitar player, unique, with fabulous techniques and ideas.

I truly agree. Tracks are all very good. I found the newly released jazz CD “Above The Clouds” very essential to the listeners who enjoy Greg Smith’s music to know what inspire him to write and compose a good melody and arrangements, and how the tunes relates to the “title”.

The back cover of the CD briefly described why he wrote the tunes, which to me are all very inspiring, original, and comes from the heart.
Greg is brilliant and excellent, very confident as well, in his guitar playing. I have my favorites the title track “Above the Clouds”, “Wren Song”, a slow, haunting, and very beautiful melody, “Figaro Tree", and “Forties” "grooving" tunes, fast guitar playing are phenomenal.

Overall, an excellent and enjoyable CD.


Greg Smith had open concerts for various great jazz, rock, blues, funk/soul artists such as Diana Krall, Jonathan Butler, The Moody Blues, Brian Wilson, Isaac Hayes just some artists to mention. Also, studied music with Pat Metheny and Larry Coryell. Had performances with artists Edgar Winter, Chick Corea, and Larry Coryell.
