J.J. Johnson - The Eminent Jay Jay Johnson, Vol. 1 (Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series) (LP)

Trombonist J.J. Johnson was a true pioneer of bebop, earning the admiration of legends like Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker for his ability to translate the demanding language of bop to the trombone. The Eminent Jay Jay Johnson, Vol. 1 captures him at a creative peak, drawing on sessions recorded in 1953 and 1954 that feature an extraordinary supporting cast including Clifford Brown and Charles Mingus.

This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Series edition brings new life to a landmark recording, presented in its original mono configuration and remastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio directly from the original analog tapes. Pressed on 180g vinyl and rooted in the all-analog mastering work of the legendary Rudy Van Gelder, this release is a faithful and sonically thoughtful presentation of one of jazz's most essential documents.
