Songs of Our Fathers is Aaron J Johnson''s debut recording as a leader. This versitile musician has recorded on trombone, bass trombone, tuba, bass clarinet, and conch shells and has worked with the likes of Steve Turre, Charles Tolliver, Oliver Lake, Howard Johnson, Salim Washington, Jimmy Heath, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, the Smithsonian Jazz Masterworks Orchestra, the Mingus Big Band, Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin, Jay-Z, and others.
Songs of Our Fathers is his tribute to not only his father, but the past masters of the black music tradition in the form of nine original compositions, plus the fleet-footed Joe Henderson tune "Our Thing," the name of the band he co-leads with saxophonist Salim Washington. On Songs of Our Fathers, he is joined by Washington on tenor sax, flute, and oboe, and bassist Robert Sabin from that band. In addition, the stellar Onaje Allan Gumbs and Victor Lewis join them on piano and drums.
The result is swinging music often with a funky groove that is always in touch with the blues. Do yourself a favor and take a listen to the samples, and check out the groove!
