Johnny O'Neal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johnny O'Neal (born in Detroit, Michigan) is an American jazz pianist. His playing ranges from the technically virtuosic to the tenderest of ballad interpretations. Though unique in style, he is influenced by many jazz elders, including Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum. He has led many recording dates with jazz heavyweights such as Russell Malone and many others.

O'Neal portrayed Tatum in the 2004 movie Ray, convincingly recreating Tatum's sound on the song "Yesterdays".
