Saxophoniste
Jazz US né Plas John Johnson le 21 Juillet 1931 à Donaldsonville (Louisiane). Plas Johnson a fait ses débuts dans les

il a accompagné tous les grands Rockers de chez Capitol.
Plas
Johnson's seductive tenor sound has been utilized on many studio sessions,
including -- most notably -- the Pink Panther film (1963). A more versatile
player than one might think, Johnson sounds equally at home in blues, R&B-ish,
and hard bop settings. He recorded a single in New Orleans (1950), moved to Los
Angeles, and was quickly established as a popular studio musician. Johnson
worked with Johnny Otis and Charles
Brown, recorded dates as a leader for Tampa (1956-1957), Score, Capitol
(1958-1960), Ava (1964), and Concord (1975-1976), worked with the Capp-Pierce
Juggernaut, and toured with the Gene Harris Superband in 1990.
