	"Steve Smith: Journey Man"; Modern Drummer, June 1981
		One semester Smith was given a full scholarship to go to the University of Tulsa in Oklahoma because their stage band was in need of a drummer. ; Discontented with the lacking music scene in Oklahoma, Smith stayed only one semester, forfeited his scholarship and returned to Berklee for his seventh semester.
		Smith takes an entire spare set on the road now, with which to practice. It is a combination of some of the old drum sets he has, with a 20" Gretsch drum, and 18" Sonor bass drum and some Pearl concert toms.
		Another such situation for Smith is a trio with which he is involved in his spare time. The trio consists of Smith, Tom Coster keyboardist and producer for Santana, and Randy Jackson, who used to play with Bill Cobham. In addition to performing live, they play to record in the new future as well.

	THINK MAGAZINE • BOOKS: Elliott Smith and the Big Nothing
		Smith at first couldn’t believe that anyone wanted to release what he recorded as solely a personal project, not meant to be heard as a demo much less as an album for the outside world.
		Smith’s low-fi recording techniques, intimate lyrics, blended-falsetto vocals and folksy guitar came to be known as “folk punk”, which Nugent describes as “the minimalism of punk and the acoustic guitar stylings of folk”.
		Smith’s drinking was always problematic, and when he finally did embrace drugs in recording his final album, he felt he was on a creative journey to make his White Album.

	"Steve Smith", By Robyn Flans for Modern Drummer, August 1986
		When I met Steve Smith in 1980, I must admit that I knew little about him, as I was contacted about the interview only one day prior to our scheduled meeting.
		What he is most excited about, however, is that now that he is no longer a member of Journey, he will be able to put all his energy into playing the music he most loves with his own band, as well as with Steps Ahead, of which he has recently become a member.
		When Steve was singing, I was focusing everything through him to make him feel comfortable, to stay out of his way, and to support what he was doing.

	The Official Steve Gadd Website ::: ACCOLADES
		Steve Gadd is to drumming as Pablo Picasso is to painting: modern yet elemental, groundbreaking but earthy, simple yet complex...and an important/ever-present part of our cultural panorama.
		Steve and Alan Rubin were great buddies, and Steve (I think he was on the road with the late Michel Petruciani) was wonderful and supportive.
		Steve doesn't, or at least didn't, see himself as a teacher. Whatever he thinks he is, he is a kind and thoughtful human being who knows how and wants to help one in need. I doubt there is more any could ask from a teacher.

	Steve Smith
		Reprising his role as Journey drummer is Steve Smith, who joined the band in 1978 and was "let go" in 1985, largely because of musical differences regarding the making of the band's last studio album, Raised on Radio.
		To Steve, whose larger body of work has been in the jazz field, the reunion is an opportunity to make a good wage replaying a role that he can now infuse with ten more years' worth of musical experience and wisdom.
		Like when Steve would talk about this Sam Cooke tune or the feel of this Motown hit--back then, if he gave me a hint of what it was about I could fake it; I could come up with a good approximation and something intuitively that worked.

		Steve builds his lines slowly but with complex unpredictability, inching his way through the changes, does a Hawaiian-style interlude, then plays lines on the same theme in double-stop harmonics, finally drilling it home with dizzying speed-picking and screams.
		Steve is sung the long, complex line, and he points out the first note in each phrase.
		Steve's used to putting his butt on the chopping block, maintaining complete control, which makes the all-star gig so intense.

	Review - Steve Smith - Desert Night
		Musicians very often become infused with the living, breathing spirit of the land they inhabit.
		Smith isn't a musician to indulge in hot licks or trendy progressions, preferring to craft distinctive melodies and then weave intricate harmonic lines in and around the musical core of each composition.
		Aiding Smith in his musical endeavors here are Tom Espinola, who contributes not just his instrumental skills on cello, percussion, bass and guitar but also produced the project, the redoubtable Ira Gitlin on five string double bass, and the wondrously talented Lorraine Duisit on troubadour harp on the ethereal Orchard Music.

	FAME Review: Steve Smith - Desert Night
		To try to understand a musician from one school by the rules of the other is to misunderstand that musician.
		Steve Smith, on his latest recording Desert Night, clearly falls into the second school.
		On the latter song Smith weaves a multitude of changes that build and subside seamlessly throughout its seven-minute length.

	Steve Smith, "Marxism and Ideology"
		[Smith gives examples from the novel.] Despite the fact that the prospect of going to Africa certainly captures his imagination, we should bear in mind that Marlow's initial decision is forced upon him by his failure to find work on the sea.
		But if this sense of disorientation is clearly marked, we must attempt to account for it in terms of historical factors which, we shall argue, can be located within the text itself.
		It is precisely this historicity of language that permits us to establish the "literary" text as the object of a different kind of analysis from that which it would itself appear to sanction.
