Samurai Johnny's Music Page

Welcome to my Music page! This used to be my Jazz page, but I've expanded it to include my thoughts on ALL music. My taste in music has changed through the years, ranging from pop, rock (and all its variations), new age, blues, rap, classical, latin, jazz (and all its variations), country, just about everything. I've lost most of my prejudice of musical styles and have grown to love all music. On this page I've listed the instruments I play (with pics) and linx to my favorite jazz artists. The page where I keep mp3's of my music is up, just scroll down and click "My Music." Enjoy!
