I’m listening to an old Prestige LP now and I’m reading the liner notes and it talks about the artist having been an inspector of blueprints at a Sperry gyroscope factory. I may have known this at one time, but at this stage I’ve probably forgotten more than I remember. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to who this is?

J.J. Johnson is our man who worked as aninspector of blueprints at a Sperry gyroscope factory.
J J Johnson
JJ Johnson indeed. The album I was listening to was Looking Back on Prestige. It’s a 1950s reissue of earlier dates and one of the earlier dates was Sonny Rollins’ first, from 1949.
Now that you’ve got my attention..pull out the RCA”JJ” lp from the mid-60’s-Bemsha Swing,So What,etc. Whew!
