Exclusive Video Podcast: Henry Johnson Talks To Jazz Guitar Today

In this inspiring video podcast, JGT’s Bob Bakert talks to guitarist Henry Johnson.

Henry Johnson quite simply is a guitarist’s, guitarist.  I can amplify that by saying that he is the guitarist that I have had the most requests to interview – “Hey, have you ever thought about Henry Johnson, he’s amazing”! I heard it a hundred times…  I have known of Henry for a long time and admired his playing and wanted to get him in Jazz Guitar Today – but our roads kept missing each other.  I was so happy that we finally put it together.  

Henry has a fantastic resume playing with the likes of Freddie Hubbard, Ramsey Lewis, Jimmy Smith, Sonny Stitt, Stanley Turrentine, and Joe Williams, WOW! He is an educator, an artist, and a gentleman! He is from my era and influenced by lots of the same people and likes a lot of the same music.  It is with great pride that we bring to you this conversation with the great Henry Johnson.

For the audio-only podcast:

Henry would like to thank Heritage Guitars, Thomastik-Infeld strings, Henriksen Amps, BlueChip guitar picks, Guitar Pro 8 software, Fishman TriplePlay, and Native Instruments sound libraries for their support throughout the years.
