Jazz Junkie
author: Tammi Williams
I had the pleasure of seeing Charlie Johnson at the Hyde Park Jazz festival a couple of weeks ago. He was playing with Chicago's Sax in the City. They threw down at Hyde Park and I had to have more. This album does not disappoint. The Song Lives On I think might be my favorite. Charlie Johnson on the keyboard is a JazzJunkie's crack. Takes you on a high and leaves you wishing for more. (At least I think that's how envision what getting high would be like : ) Jazz is drug enough for me.) Margaret Murphy has a very sultry full voice that is soothing and soulful. I recommend this album to any and all Jazz fans. Then come out to chicago and hear him play sometime - you won't regret it. Keep it up Charile and let me know if you ever need help parking your car ; )

I saw Margaret perform with Charlie's band while visiting Chicago. I am a professional vocalist and I have to take my hat off to Margaret's vocal expertise. She and Charlie have formed a musical bond that will be the envy of jazz bands everywhere! I love the CD and the fact that you cats were brave enough to do it live, AWESOME!

I saw this group perform while I was visiting Chicago at a place called "The Back Room". Charlie Johnson is the best piano player I have ever seen in my life, and when you add Margaret's voice to the mix, it just doesn't get any better than this. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to have a CD to go with the best memory of my life.
