21 note-for-note transcriptions are the focus of this book on jazz guitar pioneer Johnny Smith, credited with bringing the guitar voice out of the rhythm section. Also included is a short biography, and a very nice 3 page testimonial section by some jazz guitar greats.

Solos from the following tunes are transcribed: "I'll Remember April," "Dancing On The Ceiling," "East Of The Sun," "Easy To Love," "It Could Happen To You," "There's A Small Hotel," "In The Wee Hours Of The Morning," "Have You Met Miss Jones," "Love For Sale," "Lover," "Lover Man," Moonlight In Vermont," "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," "'S Wonderful," "Taboo," "Tea For Two," "Tickle Toe," "Walk Don't Run," "What's New," "Where Or When," and "Zing Went the Strings Of My Heart." There is no TAB in this book, only standard notation.

The actual recordings from which the solos are transcribed are not listed in the book, but author Silverman does offer a contact address for a Smith catalog.
