Doug Johns

Laying down the grooves abnormally thick in the traditions of his teachers, Jaco, Stanley and Bootsy, Doug Johns believes in soul. "You are not gonna believe this," is most people's reaction to this debut CD. It's layered with fat horns in the tradition of "Tower of Power" as well as stripped down funk bass and congas, some even say "angry jazz". There's definitely variety here, but one common theme... truth. A nationally recognized bassist featured in Bass Player Magazine, Doug has worked with heavies like Victor Wooten (Bela Fleck and the Flecktones), Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa, Missing Persons), Dana Rasch, Dweezil Zappa, The Los Angeles Mass Choir, Atlanta's Heavy Traffic, The Buddy Miles Express and Neil Zaza. None other than Victor Wooten says, "Doug Johns is a great talent who will definitely make his mark in the bass world."
