James P. Johnson

James P. Johnson (James Price Johnson, također poznat kao Jimmy Johnson; 1. februar 1894 – 17. novembar 1955) bio je američki pijanist i kompozitor. Bio je jedan od pionira tzv. stride piano muzike, i smatra se jednim od najvažnijih ličnosti za prijelaz američke zabavne muzike iz ere ragtimea u eru jazza. Njegovo najpoznatije djelo je Charleston, pjesma koja se često smatra svojevrsnom himnom Burnih dvadesetih.
