Biography

American jazz trombonist, composer and arranger, sometimes credited as Jay Jay Johnson. He was one of the first trombonists to embrace bebop music. He has long been regarded as one of the leading trombonists of the post-swing era, exerting a pervasive influence on other jazz musicians.

After he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, Johnson maintained a positive outlook and underwent treatment. He wrote a book of original exercises and etudes for jazz musicians, published later by Hal Leonard. A biography, The Musical World of J. J. Johnson, was published in 2000.

On 4 February 2001, he committed suicide by shooting himself. He was 77.
