A. Christopher Johnson

My studio sessions are mostly playing original hard swinging Hard Bop, with occasional sessions doing funky Soul Jazz and Hip-Hop Jazz, with talented musicians and Spoken-Word Poets / M.C.'s, in the great studios of New York City.

Whenever I have a break from practicing my studio set lists, I'm staying sharp with Jazz standards, and with my Hip-Hop" breakbeat chops, that I often incorporate slickly, into my Hard Bop and Soul Jazz swing, and of course my live instrumentation Hip-Hop Jazz sessions.
