Johnny Lippiett

Biography

Since being a finalist at the Young Jazz Musician of the year, back in 1996, Johnny Lippiett has played with some of the world's jazz greats - from Mornington Locket, to Bobby Wellins and Courtney Pine. His swinging, melodic, emotive tenor sax-vibe is influenced from the eminently listenable tenor sax legend Eddie Harris, through to the jazz-nuttiness of Thelonius Monk's piano and to the fusion masterpieces of Miles Davis.

Lippiett is currently blowing his horn in the Big Apple, playing some the legendary jazz dives of Soho, the Village and the Upper East side.
