Who saw James P. Johnson live?

[EKE BBB]

Here is a copy of an e-mail from Scott E. Brown, the biographer of James P. Johnson.

He seeks information from fans or musicians who saw JPJ in live performance and would like to include personal anecdotes of those performances in his 2nd edition:

I am the biographer of James P. Johnson (A Case Of Mistaken Identity- The life and Music of James P. Johnson, Scarecrow press and Rutgers Inst. Of Jazz Studies, 1987). I am wondering if you ever saw James P. in your travels. I am working on a second edition of my biography and making one more effort to find people who saw him play, especially musicians. Thanks so much.

Scott E Brown

Not sure, but perhaps some of the older forum members may be able to help, even if coming from second-hand sources.

Please, do post your replies here or send me an email to ekebbbapg@yahoo.es

I'm way too young to have seen James P., but I will certainly look forward to the new edition of Brown's excellent biography.
