Selected press and reviews for Johnny Case

SELECTED PRESS


 

Duel inductions for the Case Brothers into the Western Swing Music Society of the Southwest Hall of Fame. The event took place in Lawton, Oklahoma the summer of 2016. Guitarist Jerry Case, left; pianist Johnny Case, right.

 
John Case has evolved a recognizable piano style with full left-hand chords and a melodic right hand which lags slightly behind the beat, and a firm touch which lets you know he means every note.
— Tom Bingham
Although little known to the world at large, the Case Brothers and their crew sound like a vital addition to the contemporary mainstream.
— Jazz Forum (International Edition)
A totally different Case is heard on Creative Explosions (LP). Case eschews the ballads and popular tunes favored in recent years and instead concentrates on piano explorations based on an aggressive improvised platform.
— Frank Rubolino, Cadence
Case’s output of albums captures his growth (both as composer and improviser) since the release of his first album in 1969. Case remains one of the most important and influential local (Fort Worth, Texas) pianists of the past half-century.
— Edward Brown
