Vail's CD's have received critical acclaim from all the major music/ bass magazines. Stunning solo work all the way around.

'TERMINATOR' is Vail's first solo release. Bass is used for many roles here. Groove, chords, melody, etc., etc.
Bruce Carter on drums, Ron Powell on percussion, Roger Sause on keys, funky, funky, funky!

'SAYS WHO' is the response to the statement "you can't have the bass for the lead instrument!" More melodic material and some great sax work by Eric.
Features Bruce Carter on drums; Eric Marienthal on alto sax; Roger Sause, Frankie Crawford on keys.

'UNDERGROUND' is the most sophisticated and dare we say 'mature' of Vail's solo efforts. Much melody in addition to the requisite bass madness.
This CD features Russ McKinnon and Rickey Lawson on drums; Tommy V, Reggie Boyd and Michael O'Neil on guitars; Hans Z on keys and Vail on his variety of Kubickis along with the 1962 Fender and old Kramer fretless.
See Bass Player magazine review reprinted in the 'news' section.

'COME TOGETHER'is the culmination of a solid year's effort. Vail's first pop influence was the Beatles, so this concept cd was a natural. Kenny G lends his sax and executive producer talents, along with an all- star rhythm section. Vail interprets the melodies on a variety of Kubicki basses for an unforgettable tribute to the lads from Liverpool. Definitely worth the wait!

Come Together is 'bass great' Vail Johnson's tribute to the Beatles. All star cast includes Kenny G, Ron Powell, Hans Z, and many more. Vail adapts the classic melodies to bass and lays down a strong groove, in addition to Smooth Jazz ballad treatments with great rhythm section arrangements and high end production. A real treat for anyone who likes the Beatles and bass.
