About this album

The Blues is a warm, understated set that highlights Plas Johnson’s supple tenor saxophone voice in a soulful jazz and swing setting. Released in 1976, the album draws on familiar melodies and blues standards to show how Johnson could turn even well-known material into something relaxed, melodic and full of character. His playing is clean, lyrical and quietly expressive, with a лёгness that never weakens the groove. As a late-1970s jazz-blues album from one of the most versatile saxophonists of his era, it reflects the easy authority that made Johnson such a respected studio and solo performer.
