Description
Known to serious students of jazz as the "Father of Stride Piano," James P.
Johnson has only recently begun to receive the acclaim he merits.
Born in New Brunswick, NJ and reared in the cultural hotbed of Harlem, Johnson spanned the ragtime era, through the roaring twenties (to which he contributed its theme song the Charleston) and into the swing era. Part I is a chronological biography, with listings of his musical revues, extended compositions, film work, and all other song and instrumental pieces; a comprehensive bibliography; and photos.
Part II is an exhaustive discography.
