• The complete quartet album “Plays Mack the Knife” (1961) appearing here on CD for the first time ever. It presents Johnson fronting a quartet that includes André Previn on piano, Red Mitchell on bass and Frank Capp on drums playing songs by the celebrated Kurt Weill.

• These are also the trombonist’s only existing recordings with either Previn, Mitchell or Capp - also quartet recordings are not especially common in Johnson’s discography.

• As a bonus, there is another complete album by Johnson, “Trombone and Voices” (1960), with orchestra and voices, which also appears here on CD for the first time ever.

• Total Time: 68:25 - 18 tracks.
