Dave Chamberlain's Band of Bones will present a birthday celebration in honor of JJ Johnson on Tuesday January 17th, 2012 at the NYC Baha'i Center at 7 PM. 12-time Downbeat Poll winner Steve Turre will be the featured guest artist. The show will be MC'd by Eulis Cathey of WBGO Radio.
The music will feature compositions and arrangements by JJ Johnson, the greatest trombone player in the history of jazz. All of today's jazz trombone players have been influenced by JJ, in much the same way that Charlie Parker has influenced all jazz saxophone players.
