Cee Pee Johnson (born Clifton Byron Johnson,[1][2][3] February 21, 1910[4] – after October 1954)[5] was an American jazz composer,[6][7] bandleader,[8][9] singer and multi-instrumentalist.

Early life and career

Johnson was born in Marshall, Texas in February 1910 and raised in Algiers, New Orleans.[lower-alpha 1] He first appeared in published sources in Dallas early in the 1930s, billed as C. B. Johnson, playing in his brother Bert Johnson's band The Sharps and Flats. Johnson danced and sang with this ensemble, and also played banjo and tom-toms.[12][13]

He moved to Los Angeles in the middle of the decade, and played with Emerson Scott's band at the Onyx Club in Hollywood. He eventually became the group's bandleader, and played at several high-profile West Coast clubs, including the Paradise Club,[14] the Del Mar Club (1940), the Rhumboogie,[15] and Billy Berg's Swing Club.[16] His sidemen included Teddy Buckner, Karl George, Buddy Banks, Marshal Royal, Jack McVea, Johnny Miller, and Buddy Collette. His backup drummer was Alton Redd. The ensemble appeared in many films, and was active until at least 1954;[17] he toured South America in 1953.[18]

Johnson worked as a sideman with Slam Stewart and Slim Gaillard on their Slim and Slam sessions.
