JOHNSON/DUNNING - Near Earth [CD]

Bassist Jeff Johnson's third solo release for Origin features his 14-year-old trio with saxophonist Hans Teuber and drummer Tad Britton, in a set of collective improvisations, originals, and takes on the pop tunes "Dream" and "The Good Life." Bassist with the Jessica Williams and Hal Galper trios throughout the '90's, Johnson has recorded 12 CDs and toured the world. "The collective improvising here is about as good as it gets." - Jazz Times.
