The world may have discovered the keyboard prowess of Johnny O'Neal when he was tapped to play the great Art Tatum in the 2004 film "Ray." But this was no surprise to jazz fans; O'Neal had already proven himself with the bands of Milt Jackson and Ray Brown and in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. He'll be showing off another aspect of his talent - singing - in his upcoming Exodus to Jazz show entitled "Play Jazz and Shout the Blues."
