POCKET FULLA NASTY
(2008)
Doug Johns continues to make a case for himself as one of the most credit–deserving bass virtuosos in America… it´s his inventiveness that´s consistently compelling.
~ Bass Player, February 2009
Doug´s playing is very deep and chocked FULL of groove and pocket... nothing but great bass work and a stellar band! A very heavy lesson in groove-ology is in store with this one... Highly recommended.
~ Bass Musician Magazine.com
The album is awesome, and just solid funk-groove based fusion, with some twists and turns… Straight up funk, down and dirty… funky fusion with a rock ice cube inserted… reminds me of the Yellowjackets with tattoos!… GET IT!
~ William Kirk, Musicianarian
Johns returns to glory with a new slate of funk on Pocket Fulla Nasty – an 11-track tour de force... this guy´s an absolute monster at his craft. He speaks softly, but carries a big four-string.
~ Peter Chakerian, Managing Editor Cool Cleveland
DOUG JOHNS
(2006)
Ohio-based Doug Johns gets his rocks off on some seriously hyper-fueled large-band funk on this brash, daring solo debut. This deserves a listen.
~ Bass Player Magazine
A wide open and uber-funky introduction to another great gun for hire out there in the world.
~ Bass Musician Magazine
You can add Doug Johns´ name to the populace of bad-ass electric jazz-funk/fusion electric bassists.
