Ed Johnson and Novo Tempo - Downtown Berkeley Jazz Festival August 25, 2007

Vibrant, original contemporary jazz with a Brazilian and Latin feel and a refreshing emphasis on harmony vocals and horn arrangements. As a vocalist, Ed is frequently compared to Ivan Lins, Milton Nascimento, Kenny Rankin, and Michael Franks. As a guitarist and bandleader, critics cite the lushly exotic, accessible sounds of Airto and Flora Purim.
