Lucien Johnson has been described as “a saxophonist of the highest repute” (Giles Peterson, BBC). His music has taken him around the globe, touring and performing in the USA, Brazil, Europe, China, Japan, Haiti and India. His last two albums “Wax//Wane” and “Ancient Relics have received rave reviews in the international press with France Musique calling them “Bewitching and Astonishing” and London Jazz News describing them as “Mystical, a touch retro and increasingly spellbinding”. Winner of the 2021 Apra Amcos Best Jazz Composer and the 2018 Arts Foundation Friedlander Residency in New York, Johnson has been one of the land’s most imaginative music creators in a career spanning over two decades.
