Marcus Johnson - Maxin'

Marcus Johnson Live. This tune was recorded on the "Lessons in Love" project. That was the first song that really exhibited the Washington DC influence on the Marcus Johnson sound. Musicians: Marcus Johnson - keys, Jackiem Joyner - sax, JJ Williams - drums, David Dyson - bass, Earl Carter - guitar

[@bridgettec15]

Marcus is one of the most talented musicians of our time.

Man David Dyson sure makes you feel that base!! What a great group of highly talented musicians! I wish I could get my adult kids to appreciate real music like this.

[@saxchick5]

+Courtney Richie im 24 I love this stuff wish peers could relate

[@cgrichie]

+kelsey spann That just shows that you are maturing and showing a love for uplifting entertainment without a bunch of non sense thats be played and glorified today. Marcus Johnson has surrounded himself with other talented musicians like himself to show you how to chill and relax. I am 52 now and I have been listening to Jazz since I was 17 years old. Stay focused and enjoy life. It goes by really fast!

[@saxchick5]

I concur with that statement ive been playing jazz and oldies since I was in 5th grade saxophone and bass guitar. but learning from these works also has allowed me to create music my generation could relate to soul music

[@Buddy69Love]

I'm a big fan of David Dyson. Marcus Johnson will be on the Capital Jazz Super-Cruise in October 2016. This cruise has a very good lineup from Jill Scott, Eric Benet, Ledisi, Howard Hewett, Angie Stone, Dwele, Regina Belle, EU with Sugar Bear, Lisa Lisa, Rakim, Naughty By Nature, The O'Jays. Comedians Bill Bellamy, Tommy Davison, George Wallace, Tony Roberts, Michael Colyar, Gospel artist Smokie Norful, and Jazz from BWB featuring Norman Brown, Kirk Whalum, & Rick Braun and many more great artist.
