JOHNNY GRIFFIN - INTRODUCING JOHNNY GRIFFIN (CHICAGO CALLING) (LP)

Johnny Griffin Introducing Johnny Griffin on Vinyl LP! 

If you've ever needed a definition of hardbop, this is it! A Blue Note session, recorded in the mid '50s by a young Johnny Griffin, fresh in from Chicago and playing with tons of fire and loads of imagination! With Wynton Kelly on piano and Max Roach on drums, the excitement never stops as the group rolls their way through a fine set of tightly-crafted tunes. The entire session is incredibly precise and the real charm is the way in which the razor-sharp group manages to twist and turn so deftly here! Cuts include "Mil Dew," "Chicago Calling," "These Foolish Things," "The Boy Next Door," "Lover Man" and "It's Alright With Me."
