Philadelphia born and raised Gail Jhonson is one of the most sought-after femaIe keyboardists around these days… actually, one of the most sought-after keyboardists, male or female. She’s Norman Brown’s musical director, has performed with major talent the likes of Vanessa Williams, Dave Koz, Pink… and the list goes on.

She composes and scores Gospel musicals, has her own Gospel Jazz radio show, and still has time to teach and give back through support of numerous charities. Amidst all of this activity comes Ms. Jhonson’s second solo release, HERSTORY, lovingly dedicated to her mom. As for the tunes on the new CD, they’re fantastic, just as you would expect from a talent of this caliber. Check out the new radio single, “Cruisin After Dark,” featuring Detroit’s Lin Rountree on trumpet. Yep, HERSTORY’s a total winner, and still another feather in the cap of the “First Lady of Smooth Jazz.” ~SCOTT O’BRIEN

It’s About Time was originally written and produced in 1994 and later released in 1996. Here is a little history of how this record developed. Prior to this, I had several groups that had label potential-"2X2" a contemporary jazz quartet, "One on One" a keyboard & guitar R&B duo & all-female jazz quintet "Beau". None of those projects panned out, then I had the opportunity to work with guitarist Norman Brown in 1991. I soon became music director and I was very excited about us going on tour and opening up for superstar Patti LaBelle. After we finished the west coast “leg” of the tour (no pun intended), we traveled on the long awaited tour bus back east. Well, I didn’t make it to the first gig, I broke my leg...and had to be sent back home. I was devastated! I had a new baby to support and was unable to gig. So with a little help and my savings, I stayed home and decided to write “jazz” songs & submit them to various new “smooth jazz” artists. Like most musicians, we all invested in home studios; and mine paid off. As a novice studio engineer, I compiled tracks I already recorded, wrote new ones, got some of my talented friends to play or sing, then pitched them to everyone I could. Well, at the time, no one was interested. 
However, before the tour, I did a photo shoot for Mackie Corp. The pictures were professionally done, so I used them to help me launch my solo project after so many years of being in original bands, duos, quartets, playing R&B, Funk, Disco and Jazz. I also wrote tracks for vocalists, producers, rappers & budding hip-hop artists. So, my mindset is was to treat this project as a demo and somebody would be interested & sign me up. Well that didn’t happen either. I guess I was waiting for a big-time producer to come along & realize he needed a female, piano player commodity like me! So I turned to Gospel music & Theatre and found un-speakable joy! 
I continued to play jazz with many artists and have written many songs over the years. When I decided to do this, my family said IT’S ABOUT TIME you concentrate on you & your music. So with my “demo” and newly found freedom of expression and indie label Philly the Kid Records, I made less than 100 copies. It’s late 2007, and I decided to master these tracks & make them available in my catalog. I was unable to re-mix the original music, so the sound quality isn’t great; but the feeling & attitude of the music speaks for itself. I hope you find joy and feel like toe-tappin’ while you listen!
