Product Description
Make no mistake about it, Philip Johnston is a genius. He is truly one of the greats of 21st Century Jazz Sax. No foolin' This is his 10th release, his first for Innova, and it's a real jem. Rub Me The Wrong Way is a remarkable record, Avant Garde, but lush, and melodic and dare we say it; romantic. It's hard to put into one genre, it's Jazz all right but it also embraces Ragtime, Blues, African music, French Hurdy Gurdy music, film soundtracks and a host of other styles. It's truly hard to explain what this music sounds like, it's timeless, yet completely of the now, like a vintage tie with a funky new suit. Sincerity, not just showmanship, it might sound like hype but it's not, this is a truly terrific listen.
