Rusty is a great Sax player and also wonderful person. I lived in Dallas and I have recently moved to Colorado Springs. I really miss listening to him play. Hopefully he will make it up to Colorado Springs soon.

I started attending Rusty's gigs back in 2007. I enjoy his talent and his personality. I also have the pleasure of working with him at Child Protective Services.He is amazing at work and also when giving of himself to music. He is as wonderful with the children he serves as he is with his fans. Keep the good work up. As soon as I finish these classes, I will come hear you play wherever. Hey Rusty when are you doing Brooklyn again?

Rusty Johnson is indeed a wonderful person. I treasure the memory of being his 2nd Grade Teacher years ago at Grant Elementry School back in Iowa. My daughter Su and I enjoy being updated by Rusty's Newsletter.

Rusty... I am so proud of you and all your accomplishments as I read the feedback of those who know you now! Sending you heaps of love, Mrs. C

I've had the pleasure to watch and listen to Rusty and his wonderful group of musicians and vocalists about 3 x now. Everytime it brings tears to my eyes.
Rusty I wish we could have you proform at our Walk Me Home walk on May 2, 2009 at Gray's Lake, Des Moines Iowa to benefit Iowa Foster and Adoptive Parent Association.

I have the pleasure of not just seeing Rusty a gigs, but seeing him at his "day job" as Youth Specialist for Child Protective Services. What many people who just hear him preform don't know is that the passion with which he plays his saxophone is mirrored in all aspects of his life.... especially youth in foster care. He is a joy to work with, a musician with unlimited talent, an advocate with unwaivering commitment and a friend that I am blessed to have!

About two years ago some friends and I decided to go out on a Friday night. Our conversation stopped abruptly, not when the band started, but when Rusty hit his first note. I don't think we mumbled another word the entire song, we were in such awe. I'm a huge jazz fan and I was going through saxophonists I hear over the radio trying to figure out which one Rusty was. He was just too good, even better than any radio artist! I think others will agree, Rusty can never leave Dallas, we are way too lucky! Since the first time I heard Rusty, I have listened to him several times and each time I'm more surprised and in awe. I have also heard him talk of his passions. With most musicians, you can hear their emotion in their music, but with Rusty, his music is emotion and the emotion of everyone who listens! After hearing him speak, I didn't think his heart could be any bigger. Then I read through his website. Wow, just wow.

"WOW!" This is the only word to describe the first and most recent time I heard you play and believe me it won't be the last time I hear you. I'm really surprised you don't have a Grammy yet!!!!! I too am an accomplished musician (much older than you) but can't compare to the natural talent I heard when you played at Brooklyn. I waited in a line of people waiting to meet and speak to you and never got the chance. But I watched as you talked with others and took pictures while I thought "who is this guy and where has he been?" After reading your biography I am now impressed with so much more than your music which I didn't think would be possible. The next time I hear you play I will be sure to be at the front of the line and hope to get the chance to meet you!

During our most recent trip to Dallas, we were told of a saxophone player named Rusty Johnson and told we MUST hear him! I must admit we are not big fans of the saxophone, but I will be the first to say we have never heard anyone play the saxophone like you!!! We consider it an honor to have heard you play and cannot wait to follow you!
