James Price Johnson

Beloved Husband, Father and Grandfather
Master American Pianist and Composer
The Dean of Jazz Pianists
As reported in my posts from September 17, 2009 and October 7, 2009 posts, the James P. Johnson Foundation, the Johnson family and Smalls Club organized an all day “rent party” to raise money to buy a monument to commemorate this great musician who so far rested in peace in an unmarked grave in Maspeth, Queens, Mt. Olivet Cemetery.
The event met with success and this is the proof (thanks to Maspeth on www.findagrave.com):
