De Organizer was first performed in modern times in 2002. Chicago Tribune and Los Angeles Times wrote: ‘The work proved so powerful in its melodic content and so poetic in its choral writing that it’s easy to imagine the piece might have attained broad popularity... Any one of these tunes surely held the potential to become hits... De Organizer is so beautifully crafted by Johnson and so adroitly restored by Dapogny that it may yet earn a place among key dramatic works in the jazz-blues repertory’.
