Eddie Jefferson's #1 singing son, vocalist George (Vocalese) Johnson Jr. has stepped up his productivity considerably since determining to ditch the 9-5 gig and forge a career in jazz. You may remember his turn on Coltrane's "Moment's Notice," where his Trane-centric lyrics graced a 1981 Pharoah Sanders date reissued by Evidence. Here he continues to refine the art of flipping classic instrumental solos into lyrical expressions.
George V. continues to show upward mobility on his soon to be released CD Live @ JAzZ InN. For info call: 1-888-JaZz-InN & 111bnb@swcp.com or GeorgeVJohnsonJr@hotmail.com .....Coming to a city near you! Release date August 2001
