Johnson, Jay Jay
The Quintessence, New York-hackensack-chicago 1945-1961
"Jay Jay Johnson made the trombone a modern instrument in jazz, and as a result he joined the ranks of the great
creators of bebop (Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk and Miles Davis) alongside whom he often
played. apart from being a virtuoso instrumentalist and a first-rate improviser, he was also an excellent composer.
