Johhny O'Neal Trio, Straight-ahead Jazz
Advertisement
After 50 years as a professional pianist, vocalist and entertainer, Johnny O’Neal has earned the title of “master.”
Highlights of his awe-inspiring career include stints with Ray Brown, Milt Jackson and Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers, as well as a Carnegie Hall debut in 1985 on solo piano opening for Oscar Peterson and induction into the Alabama Jazz Hall of Fame in 1998. While playing with Blakey, he accompanied some of the great jazz divas, including Sarah Vaughan and Carmen McRae.
With an extensive repertoire and unparalleled showmanship, he is apt to catch his audience off-guard with his blues shouting, soulfully rendered yet unpretentious vocalizations or seemingly effortless scatting.
Personnel:
Johnny O’Neal, piano and vocals
Joey Ranieri, bass
Itay Morchi, drums
