Allyn Johnson, a native Washingtonian and child prodigy who began playing piano at age five, brings decades of experience as a performer, composer, arranger, and producer. He honed his craft in his uncle’s church choir and later studied under jazz legend Calvin Jones at the University of the District of Columbia, where he graduated magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies. Johnson’s “trademark sound” is noted for its brilliance and fortitude in improvisation, and he has served as director of the Jazz Studies program at UDC since 2005. The trio’s performance celebrates Hammond B3 Week, highlighting the iconic organ that gives the show its distinctive groove.
