IT ALL BEGAN WITH REPAIR…

J.L. Smith first opened its doors in 1991. At that point the company was a one-person band instrument repair shop serving mostly local musicians. It was a humble beginning. The first location didn’t even have a rest room; it was “quaint” as they say. Jeff had been performing expert instrument repair since 1977 and had established a reputation as a leading authority in the field. As musicians discovered the exceptional quality and detail of his work the business began to grow, necessitating the addition of employees… and plumbing. From there it was a natural progression to leverage Jeff’s knowledge and experience by developing a modest selection of quality supplies that we offered to the trade under the Performance Music Products banner.

Online brochure, world renowned historic preservation site

In the late 1990s a group of dedicated people, belonging to the non-profit historic preservation organization Island Landmarks–which included Sharon Price, Delanna Lang, Jon Knudson, Carl Winge, Stu Highet, Mary Matthews, and members of the Japanese-American community in Seattle–went to the Washington State Legislature and asked for $150,000 to use as a down-payment to purchase the Mukai house; its surrounding garden, designed by Issei woman Kuni Mukai; and the back of the property, which was originally strawberry fields.

In order to obtain these funds, historic preservation consultant Mary Matthews wrote a detailed planning document that told in very specific detail how the facility could be purchased; how much it would cost; estimates for its future operation; and plans to raise continual operation funds by either a joint Seattle/Vashon board, or just a Seattle board.  The Master Plan is a blueprint for the operation of the facility.

Matthews became Director of Island Landmarks, and continued to write various grants for the operation of the facility.  However, no organization can subsist on grants alone, and fundraising was needed by the Board.  Unfortunately in the site’s first year of operation, the plan was not followed when a Board was organized that consisted of only islanders.  It was never planned that funds for the operation of Mukai could be raised solely on the island.  After a year of operation, the Board had not brought any funds to the organization.  The Board resigned, as did Matthews as Executive Director.  When none of the Board came over to care for the facility, Matthews took up the effort, and reorganized a new Board.  Matthews and her husband J. Nelson Happy have been the major donors to the project ever since.

NEW EBO MOUTHPIECES

The EBO mouthpieces are the further evolution of my hard rubber traditional and vintage mouthpieces of the past 20 years. I began refacing mouthpieces when I lived in NYC during the 70′s. Many of my first customers were friends who were very  well known players, and whose names are legends today. I kept a book of the dimensions of their mouthpieces before and after I worked on them. For example, one day Pharoah Sanders showed up at my W. 54th St apartment with two shopping bags full of mouthpieces. Most had belonged to Trane and Eric Dolphy. All of these dimensions were written down in my book.

In 1980 I moved to Europe and lived in many places before settling down in Germany. I had boxes of stuff in Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, etc. The box with this book got misplaced for many years and only recently turned up while looking for something else. No one has the mouthpiece dimensions that I have. While I had many of these dimensions in my head there are many special facings in my notebook that I had forgotten.  I have found a common denominator in all the great playing hard rubber mouthpieces I measured and worked on and have used these to make this new version of my Ebonite mouthpieces.

The material is the highest grade German Ebonite. You will be amazed at how these mouthpieces play and respond. In keeping with my concept that there is only one or two tip openings that have the magic relationship to the chamber design, the EBO Alto is available in a 75 opening and the EBO Tenor in a 105 opening.

Keep your eye on my web site for information on the EBO LEGENDS SERIES which I will offer in 2015. These will be a high end limited edition mouthpiece based on the actual facings of certain mouthpieces of Trane, Bird and other greats.

Web brochure for independent song writer

Guitarist, Songwriter, vocalist Smyth Jeffry’s music has been described as “Americana”, placing him in good company with a diverse and capable crowd of musicians and songwriters who seem to be happy under this forgiving umbrella.

Smyth is equally at home in both acoustic and electric settings and his songwriting depth exhibits as wide a range of interests and influences as does his playing. Blues, Jazz, Rock, and singer-songwriter veins all run continuously through his work. Smyth is a home in many musical settings; accompanying a vocalist; playing lead guitar in a blues band; leading an acoustic trio-or playing solo.

Smyth’s songs range from simple love songs to songs of personal exploration and celebration. “The ultimate song is an universal one which allows listeners to believe it’s about themselves” says Jeffry.

Smyth Jeffry’s formidable guitar playing, sturdy vocal skills, and journeyman songwriting take center stage in this release, draped over a remarkable band and background vocalists. Electric or acoustic, Smyth is at home on every axe and leads the way with his command of the six strings.

Jeffry explores wide terrain on I Play Guitar both emotionally and musically. Songs range from reflection (Father Sky) to love lost (of course), to celebration (Stand Up!). You’ll hear insecure longing in “This Will Be My People”. (And you might hear shades of Elton John in Mark Stalling’s piano break). The playful “Likes of Me” shows an almost country flavor and Jeffry proves the point by donning his 5-string banjo (for its debut) to add color to the song. The record even features a favored co-writer Holly Russ Johnson on lead vocals singing “Flyin’ Time” as he takes to the lead guitar. Closing the record with hopefulness (and unveiling Smyth’s jazz leaning) is the samba “Little Red Boat”. It should bring a smile.
