"Were it not for marketing strategies to capture a wider audience artists like MJ would be a household name. Jazz music nature is chameleon which explains why marketing jazz through popular genre is so necessary. These artists gotta eat. But truly, at the end of the day this guy has chops and sticks. I present his music on my radio program because I understand my obligation to preserve the music branch with the hope the root will be discovered.

Kudos to Mr. Johnson for his courage and determination.

He isn[t rising from the ashes as the title of his latest material suggests, but his artistry will give rise to your soul. yugenfardan@msn.com"
