Music reviews of Eminent J.J. Johnson 2

Music Review: "Preeminent" is more like it.
Rating: 5 Stars

These sessions marked J. J.'s return to jazz following a two-year hiatus, during which time J. J. worked as a blueprint inspector, seeking a more secure livelihood than what jazz could offer. Before disappearing from the music scene he had already recorded with practically all the major modernists, won the major jazz polls, and toured with Jazz at the Philharmonic. So these Blue Note sessions were delivered with serious purpose and intent by an artist who was as much about business as pleasure. Following these dates, he would sign on with Columbia in 1956, and thereafter would release dozens of albums with Kai Winding and other trombone players for Columbia, Bethlehem, Impulse, etc., practically becoming a household word. Even this popularity was not enough to guarantee him the secure, dependable income he sought, leading to another extended sabbatical from the trombone as he next found himself immersed in the Hollywood studios, devoting his time to writing and arranging.

A listener overwhelmed by J. J.'s prolific output on record could do worse than these Blue Note sessions, which represent J. J. with his game face on. He's joined by no more than a rhythm section or second compatible horn (Hank Mobley, who makes a more supportive frontline associate than a frontliner like Clifford Brown, the main second horn on Volume One). The one "suspect" tune on the date, "Pennies from Heaven," is not as cliched and tired as a listener might imagine before hearing it, and Mobley helps insure that the always elegant and genteel J. J. maintains his eminence as the most thoughtful and soulful of trombonists as well.

Complement this one with the Columbia collection, "Trombone Master," and you'll have a solid initial representation of the foremost exponent of the jazz trombone.

(Oops. I barely post what I regard as an "objective" review based on the best information I can find plus a lifetime's worth of hours listening to J. J. and countless numbers of other trombonists. I hope the individual who objects to the review does us all a favor by setting the record straight. Maybe Glenn Miller is the only trombonist who merits the description "preeminent.")
