George V Johnson Jr


Vocalist, Lyricist, Composer, Actor, Playwright, Producer & Entrepreneur


Hailing from the Washington D.C. and born Dec. 20, 1950, jazz vocalist George V Johnson's got his start during the early 70's performing at the famous jazz club called the "Pigfoot" with pianist John Malachi owned and operated by guitarist Bill Harris. His diverse talents have been showcased locally and internationally as a lyricist, composer and actor. Considered as one of the foremost practitioners of the vocalese style on the jazz scene today ("Art of Jazz Vocalese"), Johnson first gained popularity after his debut recording with Pharaoh Sanders in 1981 as featured vocalist with and lyrics contributed to John Coltrane's classic "Moments Notice."

Throughout the 80's George was mentored and performed regularly with “James Moody "Moody's Mood For Love" & "Sweet Papa" Lou Donaldson. Two of the most distinguished saxophonist in the history of Jazz. His close association with both Moody and Donaldson led to many Local & National Live Radio and Television Broadcasts as well as clubs, festivals, concert stages throughout the USA, including Carnegie Hall and Town Hall

Johnson has also had the opportunity to be mentored by Eddie Jefferson, founder of the Art of Jazz Vocalese (writing and singing lyrics to improvised solos). He also shared the stage with the great Dizzy Gillespie, Buck Hill, Shirley Horn, Arnold Sterling, Larry Ridley & Jazz Legacy Ensemble, Pharoah Sanders, Clifford Jordan, Barry Harris, John Hicks, Harold Mabern, Rufus Reid, Kenny Barron, Walter Bishop Jr, Kirk Lightsey, Mulgrew Miller, Dr. Art Davis, Wes Anderson, Idris Muhammad, Fukushi Tianaka, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Dr. Art Davis, Philly Joe Jones, Billy Higgins and many more

Imagine listening to a seasoned jazz musician rip into a bebop solo so sizzling and smooth it makes your senses tingle. Close your eyes and play along. Try and picture the sweat bouncing off the performer like the notes that leap through the air. See if you can hear the mesmerizing melodies go up and down, bringing you through joy and sadness, taking your emotions on a sensory experience unlike any other. Now picture that musician and his beloved instrument: His voice. That's the art of vocalese, and that's what native D.C. son George V Johnson Jr. has been doing for over 40 years. Working as a performer, a D.C. Metrobus driver and a New Jersey train conductor at different times throughout his life, Johnson's latest work has taken the form of pedagogy. He has become a teacher and mentor to both aspiring and established vocalists from around the area, and most recently he has lent his years of experience and talent to AU, leading the AU jazz vocal ensemble. ~~By Ben Lozovsky~~~American University~~the Eagle

Steve Novosel - bass


Born in 1940 in Farrell, Pennsylvania, Steve started playing Yugoslav folk songs on the piano with his grandfather when he was 11 years old. At 13 he started studying trumpet, inspired by listening to Clifford Brown, Miles Davis, Max Roach and Horace Silver. As soon as he was out of high school, he went to New York to study trumpet.


He spent three years in New York, listening almost every night to the jazz giants of the late fifties. By the time he was 20, his trumpet playing was good enough to get him into the U.S. Army Band, so he came to Washington in 1961 for three years of service. There he began his love affair with the bass, moonlighting steadily as a bassist in the fertile DC jazz club scene. Steve’s mentor was Charlie “Bird” Hampton, then and now one of Washington’s great jazz saxophonists. From his first touring and recording gig with the Trio ESP, Steve moved up rapidly in the world of jazz bassists, playing and recording with Andrew White, Roland Kirk, Stanley Cowell, David “Fathead” Newman and Eddie Harris.


Other jazz greats he has performed with since include Cedar Walton, McCoy Tyner, Hank Jones, Milt Jackson, Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry, Sonny Rollins, Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis, Harry “Sweets” Edison, James Moody, Archie Shepp and Blue Mitchell. Steve is also in great demand as an accompanist for singers; he has played with everyone from Billy Eckstine, Joe Williams and Donny Hathaway to Anita O’Day, Roberta Flack, Betty Carter and Shirley Horn. He accompanies Shirley on several of her Verve releases.


Steve has toured with Red Norvo, Tal Farlow, Al Grey and most recently, with David “Fathead” Newman. In addition to his previous 57 recordings, he has several on Mapleshade including Portraits in Ivory and Brass with Jack Walrath and Larry Willis (Mapleshade #02032) and Every Rung Goes Higher Mapleshade #08232) with Willis and Steve Berrios plus singer Kenyetta
