Allyn Johnson Organ Trio - Hammond B3 Week

Allyn Johnson leads an organ trio for Blues Alley’s Hammond B3 Week. A native Washingtonian, Johnson is a musician, composer, arranger, and producer known for an energetic, distinctive approach to jazz improvisation. He began playing piano at age five, accompanying his uncle’s church youth choir before developing his musical skills at the University of the District of Columbia.

At UDC, Johnson studied under the late jazz legend Calvin Jones, received the first Felix E. Grant Scholarship Award in jazz performance, and graduated magna cum laude in 1997 with a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies. He later served as an adjunct music professor and assistant director of UDC’s Jazz Studies program, succeeding Jones as director in 2005 after more than six years in those roles.
