In 1972, at the height of his recording career, Johnny walked away from his record contracts, and founded the East Harlem Music School on 104th St in New York, the first and only music school in the world devoted totally to the teaching of "Salsa." At it's peak in the 1980's, the school had an enrollment of 1,500 students. Over the years the school has provided classes to over 20,000 students ( including many from abroad) in piano, bass, guitar, flute, saxophone, trombone, voice, bongo, conga and timbales. He discovered Latin Jazz as a youth of Puerto Rican descent in part through the albums of musician Cal Tjader, and eventually became a well recognized pianist, composer, educator and arranger in his own right.

Johnny is a master musician. He never got the recognition that he deserved back in the day. TNT boys got their name out there because of JC. After they left the band to do their own thing, Johnny stepped up and took on the lead vocal. Cat is AWESOME !
