JAZZ ON WASHINGTON AVENUE - OLIVER JOHNSON TRIO


by Dwight L. Quinn                                                                                           3/14/2014

Nothing but raw talent, is the best way to describe trumpeter/singer/songwriter and recording artist Oliver Johnson who at young age of nine first began playing the trumpet backed by the inspiration and motivation of his mother,the late Roberta Johnson whom made it her life goal to coach and guide young Oliver into the master musician that he has become. Growing up in East St. Louis,Illinois Oliver
got to experience the mentorship of the industry's big-named Artists like,Tabb Smith,Leo Chears,Miles Davis, Albert King,who helped Oliver further developed his musical skills. Oliver put his best foot forward when the Label gave him the green light in producing, the album,"Jazz On Washington Avenue",Oliver had opportunity to select songs that formed the mixture of straight ahead jazz with modern and contemporary all together on this must-listen to album. Original songs like,"Brazil,""Quiet Street",and"In The Moment" topped off the mood that Oliver was trying to capture in,"Jazz On Washington Avenue".
Time sort of stood still as the sound of,"Eternal Triangle" and "Mr. Kenyata" bellowed out that hip,
down beat, mellow sound that you use to hear backin the day vibrating out from those cool romantic Jazz
Clubs was frequent venue of choice for Jazz lovers and jazz entertainment.
Accompanying Oliver Johnson on "Jazz On Washington Avenue,"Henry Burns,piano and keyboards,the late "Raymond Eldridges Jr."bass,"Wallace Alvin Troop,"drums, Henry Taylor,"guitar and Oliver Johnson,"horns.
