He began studying piano at the age of ten.

During his teenage years, he was introduced to jazz by way of the Commodore Music Shop in New York City.

There he met the manager Jack Crystal (father of Billy Crystal), who was running jam sessions on the Lower East Side.

At these sessions, Johnny met some of the greatest players of the era, such as Willie "The Lion" Smith, Big Sid Catlett, Joe Thomas, Hot Lips Page, Joe Sullivan, Pete Brown and others.

The experience of sitting in for Joe Sullivan and Willie "The Lion" Smith was invaluable and soon allowed Johnny to become a hired player.

Johnny's first professional job was with Bobby Hackett touring the East Coast with his quartet.

1954

In 1954 he worked at Nick's with Phil Napoleon and later with Pee Wee Erwin.

1957

For the next several years between the Condon tours, Johnny worked most of the jazz rooms around New York including The Embers, The Roundtable, Condon's Uptown (with Edmond Hall), The Metropole and many others.

Musicians such as Henry "Red" Allen, Roy Eldridge, Coleman Hawkins, Bobby Hackett, Charlie Shavers, Jo Jones and Jonah Jones helped further his musical education.

He played with Eddie Miller, Dick Cathcart, Tommy Newsom, Red Norvo, Abe Lincoln, Bob Havens, and Jack Sheldon.

He also did a five-year solo stint at Gatsby's Restaurant in Brentwood.

It was in Los Angeles where the idea was born to organize a swing group covering the styles of the '30s, '40s, and '50s.

This group, known as the Swing 7, has played many of the Jazz festivals and parties.
