Celebrating J.J. Johnson

A tribute concert to the greatest jazz trombonist of all time!

J.J. Johnson 100 years!

In 2024, the legendary jazz trombonist J.J. Johnson would have turned 100 years! To celebrate the greatest jazz trombonist of all time, Tobias Stavngaard and Peter Dahlgren are going on a tour presenting the very best of J.J. Johnson’s repertoire transcribed by Tobias Stavngaard.

Johnson was one of the earliest trombonists to embrace the technically difficult bebop music. He managed, like no other, to translate the innovations of Charlie Parker to the field of trombone playing making his recordings a bible for jazz trombonists. Johnson is also known for his great compositions and, among other projects, his collaboration with trombone colleague Kai Winding.
