JJ Johnson - Misty

THANK YOU FOR THE POSTING OF THE VIDEO FEATURING J.J. JOHNSON. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. THANK YOU AGAIN.

ジェイジェイジョンソン　素晴らしい。ナットアダレイのCD持ってるよ。トロンボーン好きに悪い人はいないと、思います。

Nice comment, thanks.

Thank you JJ for your pure sound.. Thank you Rosolino for your Technical ability. 2 huge influences for me. 

In my life I've been listening to and playing (mostly as a guitarist) many styles from rock to classical but every time I go back to stuff like this I'm always astonished by the timeless beauty of this music; my beloved father, who passed away last December, had a few vinyl records of JJ Johnson he used to play when I was just a baby and this music is part of me to such a point that no matter how long I don't listen to it, whenever I do is always like coming back home; great artist whatsoever.

My favourite trombone sound ever....

Exelente

Such a nice interpretation of Misty. It's son cute to remember so many things listening this trombone.

He made the Bone sound like butter.  The greatest that's ever done it.  Miss you.

Just close your eyes and let this mellow sound caress your mind and heart... and drift you into the most romantic dream... !!!

THank you for Posting this beautiful rendition of JJ Playing Misty

perfect

Un grand morceau, par un grand tromboniste, que du bonheur ...
Thank you Erroll GARNER and JAY -JAY

JJ's tone feels like a hot knife cutting through butter. It's just so smooth and delicate. Amazing!

Every time I hear this it brings me to tears....I miss him very much!...a true gentleman and a great player. My trombone teacher and mentor.

I believe you could hand him a student grade horn from the local high school to play this and you would be hard pressed to hear the difference. He makes the horn sound great, not the other way around. Those of us lusting after the latest and greatest horn to makes us sound better are kidding ourselves. Look up the directions to Carnegie Hall.

he has a decarbo (or butler) carbon fiber trombone before they existed

Seine Stücke, auch dieses, gehen wie ein heißes Messer durch die kalte Butter ...
His pieces, even this, go like a hot knife through the cold butter ...

Wow.

Misty Maravilhoso JJ Johnson, Rio da Janeiro Brasil .

Love your sounds 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Thank You _____JJ __ for giving us so much......Will always appreciate your contributions to the art of Jazz.

ボントロは聴いてこなかったなぁ。

This man committed suicide the early part of the Millenium. When I discovered him as a young adult, l discovered the trombone as a beautiful instrument. I loved this man. It was a lot of beauty in his personal life also, consisting of his devotion to his ailing wife. What drove him to his death is unknown. He seemed very private. 😢

beautiful trombone sound

J. J. is still the greatest.

💞💟🌿😉

Maravilloso Jay Jay Johnson.

I idolized this guy, my mentor.

The first minute is just pure trombone bliss!

Sweetest Misty🎶🎉

Bpm?

The best to ever do it. Pure soul behind that sound.
Something about JJ Johnson’s music gives me nostalgic and warm feelings I can’t describe

So THIS is the song Riker could never manage to play despite tons of practice

Some people said that JJ did not use vibrato. They should listen to how subtle it is here. Plus, he uses his slide between notes so there is no doubt that this is a trombone playing. Mellow, musical, and magnificent.

Times With Times .

Pro fessir.

What key did you play that song in?

after hearing this recording my respect to J J Johnson has gone. one must have a talent to play such a great tune with this unconsciousness just in order to destroy the original tune's vibes.

This one is especially for Evelyn

Sound first. Then absolute brilliance. He has a sound any major orchestral player would seek, but then to add unbelievable feel with the incredible creativity he demonstrates in his solos--one of one.

I first began listening to J.J. Johnson in the early 1960s as a teenager residing in the rough and tumble, but creative streets of Philadelphia. Didn’t know it then how Jazz would be so important in my life. Indeed, writing my Master’s thesis in the early 1970s it was the great music of so many musicians and singers who kept me afloat during those lonely nights writing in my apartment in Seattle. As a young child growing up in West Philly we lived around the corner from McCoy Tyner whose mother was my mom’s beautician or hairdresser as they were called then. I’m writing about those experiences now with the great Jazz masters in the background still inspiring me. Peace!

Wonderful trombon Jazz ! Thank you!

JJ's finest album. "JJ!" on rca victor.😮

So few comments.

Classic...
