Who is J. J. Johnson?
The story of his life up to today has been told many times. If you are interested in finding out more about him, I suggest visiting his Home Page, created by Matt Calvert.
On the J. J. Home Page can be found an on-line interview I participated in,
as well as a link to an article I wrote on a busy month he had over fifty years ago,
A Golden Month for J. J. Johnson- December, 1947
