Description
Originally from Detroit, the Midwest melting pot of musical forms, celebrated Guitarist RANDY JOHNSTON has played and toured with a host of soul/jazz luminaries, including Etta Jones, Joey DeFrancesco, Houston Person, Lou Donaldson, Johnny Griffin and Irene Reid. After recording sixteen albums as a leader, âPEOPLE MUSICâ is the culmination of his efforts to make music for all listeners to appreciate. His amalgam of Jazz, Soul, Blues, Rock, Funk and Pop, has indeed created his own style of âpeople music.â Joined by legendary guitarist Pat Martino's rhythm tandem of organist Pat Bianchi and drummer Carmen Intorre, Randy's ample chops and taste are aptly illustrated throughout. From his fusion-esque âGarden State,â rollicking blues âNostalgia For What Never Was,â swinger âPassing By,â Santana-inspired âChavez,â to the soulful âEveryday Heroes,â his guitar playing dazzles. Randy makes his vocal debut on Mose Allison's blues âParchman Farmâ and his own rocker âTrouble.â Bianchi's B-3 accompanies and solos with aplomb, while Intorre's beats and grooves shine, particularly on the funky odd-meter of Eddie Harris' âCold Duck Time.â The trio has created congenial, approachable art for all people. Randy's mission accomplished.
