A heavyweight musician and bellwether... RIP Howard Johnson ... your contributions to Taj Mahal, Gil Evans, Oliver Nelson, Joe Sample and SO many more made other peoples music a jamboree ... there was NOBODY else like him in Jazz, or music in general ... the greatest Tuba EVA! xxx Shame on John Lennon and Lee Morgan for the way they treated you!

[@Lorenzopickle]

R.I.P. and I will be grateful forever for your music

Hi. We got a Tuba player in our 17-piece jazz big band, plays in the Trombone section. Basie, Ellington, Nestico, etc. Makes a nice sound and a change for the solos. RIP fella put your feet up - sure you will get plenty of offers in those big bands in the sky!

The coolness of experience...what a man.

In the back of my mind I can remember in the 70s hearing that tuba when Chevy Chase John Belushi Gilda Radner and the rest of the gang were there. The rest of the kids used to come over to my house to watch Saturday Night Live mr. Bill show Rosanna Rosanna Danna. I remember the not ready for Primetime players what wonderful times.
