"Smile" is another fine set of mellow and acoustic guitar led Smooth Jazz grooves from Peter White. The opener ‘Smile’ enjoys a nice vocal from Mindi Abair. ‘In Rainbows’ is a typical White composition and his guitar work is particularly lyrical. Instrumentals like ‘Floatin In Air’, ‘Head Over Heels’ and ‘Awakening’ show Peter’s deft touch. ‘Smile’ is a delightful album that will please Peter White fans.

Emil Viklicky of the Czech Republic (1948) was introduced to Japanese jazz fans by Venus Records with his debut CD Sinfonietta which featured classical composer Leos Janacek's music and his own compositions based on or inspired by Moravian songs. Viklicky's second release from Venus is also a unique concept album. It's a tribute to the internationally renowned Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami, whose recent work featured Janacek's Sinfonietta as an important device. Viklicky met Murakami in 2010 and was surprised how well the writer was versed with the music of Janacek. A while later, he decided to dedicate his second album for Venus to Murakami, who is also known as a jazz afficionado.
