Ladies and gentlemen, we're gonna bring up a young man from Washington DC, George V Johnson Jr. A great, soulful, bebop singer. My opinion, one of the best "BEBOP" Singers in America. He's even written lyrics to my solo on the MAMBO INN! This is a rare treat. Me and Him! We're gonna feature him on a Charles Christopher Parker tune "My Little Suede Shoes" with original lyrics. In fact, he's written lyrics to over 30 of Bird's classic compositions. If you have any questions give me a call~~~~~ LOU DONALDSON
Johnson has written and performs Original Lyrics to over 30 Charlie Parker compositions. Including one of Bird's most celebrated recordings "MY LITTLE SUEDE SHOES"
Music: Cal Massey
Solo: Charlie Parker
Lyrics: George V Johnson Jr (c) 1979
I saw a pretty little girl today. She only lived a half a block away. Although we didn't get the chance to speak. I knew one day that we would finally meet. I used to see her on the busy streets, while walking smoothly with a steady beat. All the fellows that she passed would speak, cause she looked good to everyone she meet. I tried to tell her that I love the way she looked but, I could never get the chance. I only wish that we could someday be together and maybe start a sweet romance. I saw that pretty little girl today, she only lived a half a block away. Now if we only get chance to speak, I'd wipe that girl right from off her feet.....solo...It was a beautiful day in September! and I was busy gazing out my window..and all of a sudden as I looked up to the corner I could see her walking down the street. My she was pretty.....

Member Quotes About TGJN
I was just saying that you knocked this out of the park with TGJN. We have needed something like this for so long and I am telling my friends about this. I said that it is sort of like a myspace for jazz but it is actually so much more. This is real. The people here truly love jazz and we know people like that are not your average people.
I have felt for a long time that straight-ahead jazz has been slipping away from us. I have hope now that there will be a resurgence (or shall I say an insurgency:-) to bring this baby back full force!
You just knocked it out of the park. Thanks again.
xoxo,
Janie

You need to be a member of THE GLOBAL JAZZ NETWORK to add comments!
Join this social network
Please join in the movement and invite all of your Jazz
living, Jazz loving, Jazz playing, listening, writing, embracing
colleagues, friends, partners, collaborators and others who
are curious, knowledgable and fans of the indigenous music
of America that has spanned the Globe and made a difference
in humanity to join us here at TGJN.
Where ever you can place a TGJN link or mention in an interview
would be an amazing boost for us and you.
Our purpose is to broaden the awareness of the music and
all that it influences i.e. art/literature and more. However, we
need your help, assistance and support to make it happen.
We believe Jazz deserves world wide recognition and that the
people who perpetuate the validity of the music deserve exposure
and recognition. BUT! the only way is if each one brings one
can we share the diversity and soul of the form.
PLEASE! take a little time and send a E-Blast to your mail
list and invite your friends and assocaites to help us broaden
our membership.
Thanks
Tamm E
Thanks for joining my Blues People discussion group, this is going to be great with your input and participation. After I get a handle on how many people will be joining us initially, I will get back to you with a general outline and when we will get the discussion started.
Can't wait!
Janie
Thank you so much for adding me as a friend here at TGJN. I had heard of you so I knew your name immediately. But now I can take a closer look since we are friends here.
And that Monk production looks amazing...any chance in the future it will travel to LA? One can only hope! :-)
Thanks again for finding me here.
Best wishes,
Janie
