Johnny Griffin - Introducing Johnny Griffin (1956) [RVG Edition, 2007] Repost / AvaxHome

Introducing Johnny Griffin is the debut album by jazz tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin. It was recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's Hackensack studio on April 17, 1956. For the sceptics of modern listening, who have been claiming otherwise, Max Roach has once again proven that his drumming is not only that of a soloist, but that of the all important pace-setter of the rhythm section. All of the good taste, fire, spark, imagination, dynamics, SWING, and technique which NO other drummer possesses to his -nth degree, is so readily heard that no further comment is necessary. The release of this, the first Johnny Griffin LP, proves many things. Mainly, of course, that here is a young, talented tenor saxophonist who, for too long, has been taken for granted, and who will, no doubt, soon be reaping some of his past due rewards.
