2024 marks something special for many jazz musicians and trombonists alike: the centennial of JJ Johnson, one of the genre’s profound luminaries and all-time most influential trombonists. In honor of this magnanimous moment in jazz history, trombonist, composer, educator, and Outside in Music label CEO Nick Finzer has programmed a series of festivities over the year. Ranging from masterclasses and seminars to tours and concerts with modern trombone masters, these celebrations will begin with on 1/19 with the release of the First Single of the project; one of Johnson’s most popular pieces: “Lament” - This piece was even recorded by the great Miles Davis! The project reunites Johnson’s own legendary band members Renee Rosnes (piano), Rufus Reid (bass), and Lewis Nash (drums) in the Rudy Van Gelder studios in Englewood, NJ - the very same location in which Johnson himself recorded many of his classic albums. Legacy is not merely a tribute album, but stands as a testament to the ever-present and transformative influence Johnson still has today.
