Original contemporary Brazilian-inspired songs
and instrumentals from a high-powered octet.
Guitarist Ed Johnson has been playing and recording music for many years, combining his love of jazz, pop, and worldly sounds, and has turned many heads for his work. The Other Road (Cumulus) has him and his group, Novo Tempo, playing music that is suitable for the jazz clubs, coffeehouses, and even smooth jazz radio.
Early praise for "The Other Road"
“...pick this up and play it many times over. It's contemporary jazz without the contempt, prepare to be surprised”
— John Book- Music For America
“I am strongly impressed with all the original tracks on this album, and excited to discover a player with such musical fire! "The Other Road" is a grand sonic adventure that gets our MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED rating!”
— Dick Metcalf, aka Rotcod Zzaj, Hawaii
“ …warm vocals and velvety backing along with piano, trumpet, soprano sax and percussion…sophisticated and harmonious jazz pop in an extension of the work of Burt Bacharach with some very clear references to Antonio Carlos Jobim, Hermeto Pascoal and Milton Nascimento.”
— Marc Nolis, MazzMuzikas Free-zine, Belgium
