Jesse Johnson talks to Wayne Boucaud
This is an Exclusive Interview with the one and only Jesse Johnson, the ‘greatest guitarist alive’ who is shortly to play the Jazz Cafe in Camden Town. Jesse talks with lucky Wayne Boucaud, of Camden Community Radio, about his new album ‘Verbal Penetration’.
Jesse’s music is informed by his sense of the interconnectedness between people that dates from a childhood spent close to people active in the Black liberation movements in the USA and South Africa. He talks here about the difficulty of recording albums such as his ‘Black in America’ which some record companies see as a minority interest and how this led him to talk the path he has. UNMISSABLE!!
