MAURICE JOHNSON BIO
Milwaukee-born jazz guitar veteran, Maurice Johnson first gained notice in 1985, shortly after forming the Oklahoma City based, After Five Band. Considered the young lions of jazz, After Five shared the stage with jazz greats, George Benson, Nancy Wilson, Stanley Turrentine, Larry Coryell, Barney Kessel and a host of others. In 1991, Maurice and James W. Dale formed D’Leco Guitars, building exclusive, handcrafted arch-top jazz guitars. Their small Oklahoma guitar company did big things, working directly with the family of legendary jazz great, Charlie Christian, introducing the first ever official Charlie Christian line of guitars. They successfully negotiated production deals with Gibson Guitars and Korean manufacturer, Samick Guitars, honoring one of the greatest names in the history of jazz and Oklahoma City's own, Deep Deuce.
