Just Do It Dr. Johnson

Rest well our friend, teacher and mentor to so many of our Morehouse students

It is with deep sadness that the GIA family announces the death of one of our own. Dr. James Abbington (Jimmie) passed into eternal life today. Jimmie was our friend and colleague for more than 25 years and he will be greatly missed.

Jimmie was a connector and a mentor in the truest and deepest sense of those words, always taking the time to encourage young musicians and composers, particularly those of color, to reach the heights of their education, celebrating each individual’s accomplishments at every step, and continuing to support their professional work. As executive editor of the African American Church Music Series, his scholarship, his talents, and his infectious personality built a legacy of supporting, publishing, and preserving the sacred music works of African American composers. It is Jimmie’s commitment to teaching and mentoring and raising others up that will continue to have a ripple effect on church music and African American composers and musicians for decades to come.

The list of accolades earned over the years by Dr. Abbington is long and impressive, all well-deserved, yet we will remember him as our teacher—teaching us all about music, about history, about love for God and the church, and mostly about friendship. Well done, good and faithful servant, may the angels lead you into paradise.
