For more than 20 years, Dick Johnson, who died in January at age 84, led the Artie Shaw Orchestra as its front man and clarinetist. Shaw, a legendary clarinetist in his own right, acknowledged Johnson as “the best I've ever heard. Bar nobody.” Brockton-born Johnson began his professional musical career at sea, performing with the Navy band aboard the USS Pasadena during World War II. After the war Johnson performed with the big bands of Charlie Spivak and Buddy Morrow before forming a jazz sextet with his friend, trumpeter Lou Colombo, and joining Shaw’s orchestra in 1983. Trumpeter Greg Hopkins called playing with Johnson “the most uplifting experience in my career,” referring to him as “the Statue of Liberty of Boston’s jazz scene.” HJ’s tribute will feature a bounty of jazz all-stars, including his son, drummer Gary Johnson, Marshall Wood (bass), Gray Sargent (guitar) and Paul Schmeling (piano). opening concert on Saturday, September 25th. http://highlandjazz.org/Concerts/concerts.htm
