| | Johnny Otis |
 | | Otis recorded for King Records in the early '60s, seldom toured and by the mid-60s was out of the music business and in California politics becoming deputy chief of staff for Democratic congressman Mervin Dymally. | | | Frank Zappa convinced Otis to return to the studio and the result was the album Cold Shot for the Kent label, with his son Shuggie, on the guitar. | | | In 1981 Bruce Iglauer of Alligator records convinced Otis to record a new album. |

| | The Johnny Otis Show |
| | Otis wrote his first book in 1968, Listen to the Lambs, about the Watts riots of '65 from the unique perspective of a white man who was in the middle of the unrest. | | | But Johnny Otis not only survived, but thrived, a unique man who made the most of his opportunities, and helped shape popular music as we know it in the process. | | | He also scored a big hit with his song "Willie and the Hand Jive," a song tagged with the new label "rock 'n' roll," though Otis wasn't much for labels on the music he'd been playing for years. |

| | Later in the decade, Otis recorded some ribald material for Kent and watched as his young son Shuggie built an enviable reputation as a blues guitarist while recording for Columbia. | | | In 1955, Otis took studio matters into his own hands, starting up his own label, Dig Records, to showcase his own work as well as his latest discoveries (including Arthur Lee Maye & the Crowns, Tony Allen, and Mel Williams). | | | After cutting some great rock & roll for Capitol from 1957 to 1959 with only one hit to show for it, Otis dropped anchor at King Records in 1961-1962 (in addition to his own output, Otis's band also backed Johnny "Guitar" Watson on several sides). |

| | Otis, who contributes piano and vibes (and lead vocals on `Margie' popularized by Jimmie Lunceford and arranged on the CD by Gerald Wilson), produced and financed the record along with longtime friend and producer Tom Morgan. | | | Pianist, vibist, drummer, singer, band leader and local hero Johnny Otis expanded his regular band to pay tribute to the regional jazz big bands of the '30s and '40s. | | | This is party music of a different era, and right out of the gate Otis delivers with heart and soul. |

| | The import anthology The Greatest Johnny Otis Show overlaps considerably with Collectables' domestic disc, The Capitol Years, but is has a little more material, and a slightly different track listing. | | | The various incarnations run through big band rock & roll, and a variety of R&B styles on a tall stack of Capitol recordings drawn from various albums, singles, and EPs made between 1957 and 1959. | | | The CD bests its Collectables' counterpart with a 16-page booklet filled with notes and photos, and is a thorough and well-done anthology of the late '50s Capitol recordings by Otis and Company. |

| | The Johnny Otis Show, Live at Monterey! |
| | Through it all, Johnny Otis remains in firm control, opening the show by reviving his 1958 hit "Willie And The Hand Jive;" soloing and comping on vibes or piano, emceeing and directing his exuberant band through its casual, largely spontaneous arrangements. | | | We all felt it, exchanged not only among musicians and singers, but from bandstand to audience and back. | | | All the other instrumental touches are emotionally strong, tonally robust products of the synthesis forged during the 1940s between jazz and RandB. |

| | He had 10 hits on the RandB charts during the 40's and 50's, and his band was the backing band for RandB hits by many other artists, too numerous to even mention. | | | He began playing jump blues as a child of his environment, working as a drummer in local African-American bands during his youth, and when he formed his first jump blues band in the mid-1940's, he shortened his surname to Otis. | | | He soon took his band to LA, where he still lives. |
