O’s Notes: John salutes the legendary, trombonist J. J. Johnson’s centennial birthday, with a live performance at The Jazz Kitchen in Indianapolis on March 3, 2024. The band is a quartet with Steve Allee (p), Jeremy Allen (b), Sean Dobbins (d) and leader, trombonist John Fedchock. They play eight of Johnson’s compositions and capture some of his essence. It’s Justifiably J. J. highlighted by “Lullaby of Jazzland”, “Ten 85”, “Short Cake”, “Lament”, and “Kenya”.
