so i listened to the other jj johnson shows, and they were both very nice.  here’s the later of those other two.  not quite bookmarking johnson’s career (he didn’t pass away until 2001), but with the other show you have very much “early and late” j.j. johnson.  also, unlike the other two shows that i have, this one includes several compositions by johnson which i think makes it more interesting in some ways.
