Charlie Johnson

There are most likely a large number of people named Charlie Johnson, or variations thereof, out buying saxophone reeds at any moment. The quantity who have put together recording credits over time is, thankfully, a little more limited, seeming to begin with in the ’20s with this reedman frequently from the rings of Small Parham. He shouldn’t be puzzled with Lemuel Charlie Johnson, among the 1st tempo and blues honkers, who didn’t begin recording before late ’30s.
