About Jay Jay Johnson
Jay Jay Johnson is a pseudonym of James Louis Johnson (b. 22 Jan 1924, Indianapolis, IN, USA - d. 4 Feb 2001 - best known as J.J. Johnson), a jazz trombonist. He repeatedly won the Downbeat and many other polls, who has played the instrument at super-rapid clips (a Philadelphia nightclub once billed him, Barnum and Bailey style, as “The Fastest Trombone Player Alive!”), and who, with the great Kai Winding, made the famous “J.J. and Kai” recordings showing that the trombone could indeed be a virtuoso instrument.
