Trombonist James Lewis “J.J.” Johnson, one of the luminaries of bebop in the ’40s and ’50s, brought an extraordinary fluency of expression to his polished playing. He almost single-handedly obliterated the idea that the trombone belonged only to the old swing and New Orleans jazz styles, and he dispelled the notion that his instrument was less spry and articulate than the saxophone. Johnson’s Blue Note album The Eminent Jay Jay Johnson, Vol. 1, from 1953 with young trumpeter Clifford Brown and other notables, is widely regarded as a milestone in modern jazz.
