A. Christopher Johnson
Playing mostly original hard swinging Hard Bop Jazz, funky Post-Bop, Jazz-Funk, and sometimes Contemporary R&B, with talented musicians, bandleaders, and soulful vacalists in the great studios of New York City.
When I'm not practicing my studio set lists, I'm staying familiar with all Jazz standards, just to keep my skills sharp, also keeping my " Real Hip-Hop" breakbeat chops up to par, that I often incorporate into my Hard Bop swing.
