Wednesday, November 11th at 8pm:
The Jazz Record Art Collective is proud to present a livestream performance with the Nick Roach Group performing J.J. Johnson's "The Eminent JJ Johnson Vol.1", released in 1953. The night will also feature live art by Arthur Wright! 

ALBUM BACKGROUND:
"The set consists of six master takes and three alternates—standards except for Johnson’s original, “Turnpike”, and pianist John Lewis’ contribution, “Sketch 1”. All the songs follow a straight-ahead arrangement: head on, solos, head off. Typical of early-fifties jazz recordings, play times hover in the slightly over three minute to under five minute range. These brief times preclude the all-star line up of Johnson, Brownie and Jimmy Heath from really stretching out. The musicians’ short solos tantalize the ears and leave one craving extra choruses of high-octane improv." -All About Jazz
