Description

American pianist and composer (1894–1955)

Extract from Wikipedia

James Price Johnson was an American pianist and composer. A pioneer of stride piano, he was one of the most important pianists in the early era of recording, and like Jelly Roll Morton, one of the key figures in the evolution of ragtime into what was eventually called jazz. Johnson was a major influence on Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk, and Fats Waller, who was his student. According to Hound Dog, the 2009 biography of the song-writing partnership between Mike Stoller and Jerry Leiber, James P. Johnson also gave lessons to Stoller.
