Although he plays with a lot of well-known musicians in this compilation of live and studio recordings, drummer George Johnson, Jr., is unlikely to be a familiar name to most jazz fans. Even though Johnson is listed first among the credits to each piece, it seems more likely that he was a sideman on the concert recordings, while he stays more in the background on many of the studio tracks. Listeners will be mostly interested in the outstanding solos work of organist Charles Earland (in his fine hard bop tribute "Morgan," which honors Lee Morgan), trombonist Wycliffe Gordon (on a live "Shaw Nuff"), and alto saxophonist Donald Harrison (in a somewhat muddy live recording of "Birdlike"). Johnson takes an extended solo on brushes in a concert recording with pianist Abdullah Ibrahim of the South African's "Tuanga Gara." Completely forgettable is Johnson's sole vocal, an overproduced "Fly Me to the Moon," where he accompanies himself on drums, backed by annoying sequencing. The CD's production values are troublesome, as the sound is extremely uneven, with sloppy editing that results in repeated segments at the end of several songs, while a few tracks sound like audience recordings. The problems carry over into the text of the booklet, as the names of several musicians and one song title are misspelled. Johnson would have benefited from spending more time polishing the final product before making it available for sale. ~ Ken Dryden

Joel Holmes was born in Arizona on December 6, 1982.The family moved to Virginia where at school during Black HistoryMonth, Joel heard themusical sound that would change his life, “I firstheard ragtime atmusic class. It was like a window opening.” With a growing passion, Joel soaked up a steady influence of jazz greatslike Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum. At the age of 10, Joel would sit at the family piano and play along with these great musicians, naturally following their lead. His mother Theresa first noticed her son's musical talent. Encouraged by his initiative his father Dennis, a trumpet player for the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corp in Fort Myers, started off his son’s music education by teaching him all he knew about basic piano. He learnt enough to play in the local church band and a teenage go-go band.

Enrolling in the Baltimore School for the Arts was a natural step where Joel’s admission was based purely on talent. After high school, Joel won a full scholarship to the acclaimed PeabodyConservatory of Music, John Hopkins University wherehe became anunderstudy of Gary Thomas, the institute’s Directorof Jazz. He gained popularity with his fellow students as they played impressive performances at various festivals and venues in both the classical and jazz genres. Joel has studied with Bobby McFerrin, Roy Hargrove and a slew of other respected musicians. He has also taught music and theory at the Rock Junior Academy, the Baltimore School for the Arts as well as given individual private lessons in jazz and classical music. A recent Bachelor of Arts graduate in Jazz Performance, Joel’s accolades include a gold medal in ...
