This LP gives one a good all-round introduction into pianist
James P. Johnson's music although it does not list the recording dates. There are piano solos from 1921, 1923, 1927 and 1939, a humorous vocal/piano duet with
Clarence Williams ("How Could I Be Blue") and four selections from a 1939 septet session with trumpeter
Red Allen and trombonist
J.C. Higginbottham. Most of this music has since been reissued in more complete fashion on CD. ~ Scott Yanow
