Recorded: 1958 Label: Prestige Comments: Johnny Griffin, originally from Chicago, first made a name for himself in the 1950's on these Blue Note releases. As "Grif" lives in France these days, his unique sound, slippery yet precise, can only be heard periodically when he visits the states. A must see when he's in town; at least we have these CD's even if we can't catch him live.

Sorry, Picture Unavailable... For more info and purchase, click here!	Title: Woe Is Me Personnel: Johnny Griffin (tenor sax). Michael Weiss (piano), John Webber (bass), Kenny Washington (drums). Recorded: 1999 Label: Prestige Comments: This band has been together for over ten years, and you can tell when you hear them. The crisp, clean drumming of Kenny Washington is a perfect complement to Griffin's soulful delivery. And John Webber and Michael Weiss are staple players on the current New York jazz scene.
