Selection From Dad's Collection #11: JJ Johnson First Place

JJ's trombone on this is swinging and couldn't ask for a better rhythm section. Tight.

The photo shows a vinyl record cover for The Complete Birth of the Cool by Miles Davis, placed on a small wooden stand. The album cover is primarily dark with a black-and-white image of Miles Davis playing the trumpet. The title text is in bold white and red, and the artist’s name is in lowercase white. The Capitol Records logo is in the top right corner. In the background, there are decorative ceramic drums on the left and some glassware and handwritten text on the right, all set on a wooden surface with a brick wall behind.

Trombonist, composer and arranger J.J. Johnson, born on this day in 1924, was one of 20th century jazz’s brightest lights, and his discography provides a diverse overview of the music across some of its most vital decades. Here’s last year’s Night Lights centennial tribute.

ザ・グレート・カイ・アンド・J.J.／カイ・ウィンディング＆J.J.ジョンソン
The Great Kai & J.J. / Kai Winding - J.J. Johnson

ダブル・トロンボーンのアンサンブルとソロが楽しめる。
名声を確立中だったビル・エヴァンスが入っていることで付加価値が付いているが、バック・ミュージシャンに徹しているので彼を聴くためのアルバムではない。

J.J. Johnson was a friend to everyone in fandom - it’s been 34 years today since he was unfairly taken from us - it still hurts that he's not around...

I would love to have seen how he would’ve reacted to the age of online media, which didn’t exist for him. I suspect he would have been a pioneer.
