Johnny Griffin Sextet
Johnny Griffin
A pioneering figure in hard bop, tenor saxophonist
Johnny Griffin recorded prolifically as a bandleader
in addition to stints with pianist Thelonious Monk,
drummer Art Blakey, in partnership with fellow
tenor Eddie “Lockjaw†Davis, and as a member of
the Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band. Tired
of being underappreciated in the United States,
he went to live in Europe in 1963, a few years after
recording this wonderful sextet LP. There, Griffin
became the “first choice†sax player for visiting
American musicians touring the continent during
the ‘60s and ‘70s. He died at the age of 80 on
July 25, 2008 in Mauprévoir, France, near Availles-
Limouzine, where he had lived for the previous 24
years. Recorded on February 5, 1958, Johnny Griffin
Sextet was the saxophonist’s debut on Riverside
Records, for whom he would record a second
album, Way Out!, the very next day.
