Trombonist J. J. Johnson took the language of bebop & adapted it to his instrument winning the admiration of Dizzy Gillespie & Charlie Parker. After playing on Miles Davis' first Blue Note session, Johnson led several dates in 1953-54 that were compiled on the 12" LP The Eminent Jay Jay Johnson, Vol. 1 featuring Clifford Brown, Charles Mingus, & more. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is mono, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original masters, & pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
