Josh Johnson, rare solo performance by a leading saxophonist
Saxophonist, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and Grammy Award-winning producer Josh Johnson is a highly original compositional voice, speaking to the worlds of jazz and new music equally. A collaborator with a huge array of leading musicians, here he offers a special, rare solo performance, playing selections from his second solo album, Unusual Object—a striking work of futuristic jazz and modern composition.
Johnson’s solo debut Freedom Exercise (Northern Spy) was featured in Rolling Stone’s Best Music of 2020 and Bandcamp’s Best Jazz Albums of 2020. Pitchfork called the record “excellent, daringly melodic” and PostGenre praised it as “a songwriting marvel”.
Johnson is a regular collaborator with some of contemporary music’s most innovative artists, including Jeff Parker, Makaya McCraven, Nate Mercereau, Marquis Hill, and Kiefer. He produced GRAMMY-winning Meshell Ndegeocello’s The Omnichord Real Book. He can also be heard on wide-ranging records by artists such as Harry Styles, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Moonchild, Broken Bells, Miley Cyrus, Louis Cole and Carlos Niño, among others.
