While hardly well known (except among history-minded music fanatics), Lonnie Johnson remains an important figure in the development of the guitar in jazz, blues, and popular music. In the 1920s and `30s, Johnson played with Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, and giants B.B. King and Bob Dylan acknowledge him as a major influence. The band Blues Anatomy, featuring ace guitarist Jef Lee Johnson and special guest Geoff Muldaur, perform a dozen of Johnson's songs here. Jef Lee Johnson echoes the technique of the elder Johnson (no relation, incidentally) while deftly morphing between New Orleans and swing jazz, blues, and even early R&B styles. While REDISCOVERING isn't exactly an album for purists (Lonnie Johnson wasn't one himself), for students and fans of great guitar playing, it's a party waiting to happen.Down Beat (p.87) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Jef Lee Johnson raises the bar consistently with his superlative acoustic playing on jazz instrumentals like 'Swing Out Rhythm' and '6/88 Glide.'"
Dirty Linen (p.78) - "The renowned Philly-based Blues Anatomy re-casts 11 of Lonnie Johnso's most distinguished tracks...and updates them for 2008 with a blues-rock edge."
Living Blues (p.48) - "Davis is essentially a crooner, yet he does not try to copy Johnson as he applies his warm tenor voice to the variety of styles -- blues, jazz, and pop -- at which the subject of this magnificent salute so excelled."
