	James Johnson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		James Johnson, easily one of the best ambient artists of recent years, continues to evolve as a musician/composer, refusing to inhabit just one sonic landscape.
		The way that James Johnson integrates the electronic elements (including electric guitar by Short on "Through The Resonance Field") with his trademark carefully nuanced piano displays Johnson's considerable skills as an engineer/producer; skills which appear to be on the same level as his artistic talent.
		While (thankfully), James has not set sail and been lost for years and years, he is an adventurer, a poet, an explorer, and a hero of sorts, at least to fans of his music, as well as those who appreciate the work he does for the genre through his website.

	James Price Johnson, African American Composer
		Despite little recognition and limited encouragement, James P Johnson would write two symphonies, a piano and a clarinet concerto, two ballets, two one-act operas and a number of sonatas, suites, tone poems and a string quartet.
		Johnson was and remains a giant, but his dark skin and a bashful temperament cost him the shameful oblivion to which he has been confined.
		In the 1940s Johnson himself recorded the piano version for Folkways, but the low quality of the recording equipment did not do justice to this rhapsody, which is therefore here documented for the first time in a proper way.

		James P. Johnson was a key musician among those synthesizing a jazz piano style out of the elements of ragtime in the early decades of the century; he also played a part in the rise of the Charleston dance craze.
		In Harlem in the 1920s, he reigned supreme as the king of the rent-party pianists, and the creative exuberance of that world comes through as authentically as it possibly can in these ancient recordings.
		An informal teacher of Fats Waller and Duke Ellington, Johnson was an absolute master of the stride technique of alternating bass notes and chords in the left hand, building tremendous energy with shifting syncopations.

	The Falsettos - Skip James, Tommy Johnson, Dona Dumitru Siminica & Joe Keawe, among others \| MetaFilter
		By the time of his 1964 rediscovery, Skip James was a dying man. Ravaged by cancer and slowed by decades of relative musical inactivity, James was no longer the stunning artist responsible for the 18 fabled recordings he made in 1931.
		Tommy Johnson was alleged to have done it, and his brother Mager did a version of it.
		Johnson evidently got around some in those years immediately before his recording, and must have understudied any number of people because you see so many influences in his playing.
