Aaron Michael Johnson (born June 9, 1991) is an American jazz saxophonist, writer and performance artist.

His earliest woodwinds instructor Matt Utal[4] recounted, "He was precocious, very bright and advanced for his age.

I stressed the importance of learning to read, and he bogged down for a long time and became a great reader.

[7] In 2014, in New York, he produced an historically accurate recreation of the Charlie Parker with Strings albums,[3] thenceforth becoming a fixture on New York's bebop scene, initially with his ensemble Aaron Johnson's Reboppers,[7][8] and eventually with the Aaron Johnson Quartet.
