About this album
Dial J. J. 5 is a sharp, elegant hard bop album that shows J. J. Johnson at his most fluent and assured. Issued in 1958, it finds the trombonist leading a nimble quintet through material that balances bite, lyricism and harmonic sophistication, with Johnson’s clean tone giving the music uncommon poise. The set moves easily between modern bop urgency and songbook ease, drawing on standards such as Love Is Here To Stay and It Could Happen To You while also making room for originals like Blue Haze. It stands as one of Johnson’s most admired post-bop-era statements.
