Johnny O’Neal (Piano) // Itay Morchi (Drums) // Ben Rubens (Bass)
Johnny O’Neal’s appearance in the 2004 blockbuster film “Ray” soared his career to new levels. In the Hollywood film, Ray Charles, played by Jamie Foxx, goes to a nightclub to see legendary Toledo jazz pianist Art Tatum played by O’Neal. During filming, O’Neal played three or four songs, although only one “Yesterdays” made it to the silver screen.
