This album is a tasty musical cocktail that will transport you back to the golden era of jazz, complete with all the glitz, glamour, and bebop you could ever dream of.

From the legendary recording studios of New York to the smoky bars of Hackensack to the bustling streets of Chicago, this album is a whirlwind tour of Johnson's incredible talent and versatility as a musician. Whether he's belting out smooth ballads or shredding on the trombone like there's no tomorrow, Johnson's passion and skill are evident in every note.

The production quality on "The Quintessence" is top-notch, with each track sounding crisp, clear, and vibrant. The instrumentation is tight, the arrangements are smooth, and the overall vibe is just pure jazz magic. It's like stepping into a time machine and landing smack dab in the middle of a swinging speakeasy.

So grab a cocktail, slip on your dancing shoes, and let JAY JAY JOHNSON take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
