Post Description

Guitarist Ronny (Ronnie) Smith has performed with a wide range of artists from a variety of schools of musical thought, including the Marvellettes, Melba Moore, and jazz drummer Bobby Durham.

With four previous CDs under his belt including, "Long Time Comin," "Laid Back." "Got Groove" and "Simply Stated," this release reveals a satisfying and individual approach to his compositional style.

He describes the process: "Once I'm satisfied with the draft and I am convinced that this is the sound that I am shooting for, I usually start contacting the musicians that I would like to perform each part (i.e., the drummer, bass player, horn players, etc.). After listening to each part, I choose the part that I think fits the song the best. They return their parts in either wav. Files, or some form of audio file. After a lot of editing and listening, I usually end up with a piece that for now I can sit and listen to for a while just to make sure it's still what I like. Then, I move to the next song and start that process all over again until I have written enough songs for a CD. Once all songs have been completed my files are mixed down to an audio format and sent to a mastering house for the final editing, mixing, and mastering to begin."
