American drummer, born 5th December 1944 in Oakland, CA, died 6th March 2002 in Paris, France.
The Oliver Johnson's encounter with music takes place with instruments different from the one that will make him famous. In fact, as a young man he learned to play the trumpet and in his free time he sang in one of the many religious choirs in his city. The turning point came by chance between 1962 and 1963 when during his military service he learned the technique of percussion and especially drums.
