Bubber Johnson - A Crazy Afternoon

Review by Alexandria Passe

A Crazy Afternoon, the latest album from Bubber Johnson, is a unique and refreshing take on jazz music. The album features a mix of original compositions and covers, each one showcasing Bubber's exceptional skill as a pianist and composer.

The album's opening track, "A Crazy Afternoon," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and infectious melody. Bubber's piano playing is nothing short of masterful, and he is backed by a talented group of musicians who help bring his compositions to life.

Throughout the album, Bubber showcases his versatility as a musician, seamlessly transitioning between different styles and genres. Whether he is playing a slow and sultry ballad like "I Remember You," or a more up-tempo number like "Groove Merchant," Bubber's playing is always soulful and expressive.

One of the standout tracks on the album is Bubber's cover of the classic jazz standard "Take the A Train." Bubber puts his own spin on the tune, infusing it with his signature style and making it his own.
