Renowned jazz keyboardist, composer and producer Marcus Johnson continues to stand strong with his latest CD titled Poetically Justified, released June 2, 2009 with a debut at 10 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Charts.
Poetically Justified marks Johnson’s eleventh solo jazz record and is Johnson’s most unique and multifaceted album to date. His experience and passion provide the perfect platform for this newest musical masterpiece, best described as a combination of smooth urban jazz with a slice of funk.
Prior to the release of Poetically Justified Johnson’s most recent project was the groundbreaking Billboard Top 15 Contemporary Jazz FLO series. The series consisted of three distinct albums released simultaneously in September 2008, – FLO: Chill (7), FLO: Romance, (7) and FLO: Standards (2). Johnson’s previous 2007 solo release, The Phoenix, was widely lauded by jazz critics and aficionados alike. Just as with Johnson’s 10 previous albums, The Phoenix peaked at 6 on Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz charts.
