JOHNNY GRIFFIN / Griff Plays Monk Mixtape

Nov 8, 2011, 5:06am breath of life
Because we in the United States grow up in a culture that studiously avoids in-depth investigations of our history, we not only forget a lot of important information, worse that forgetting, we are totally ignorant of much of what has made us who we are. And beyond forgetting and ignorance, or twin demons eating our consciousness: we don't want to know and when we do find out we don't care. Indeed, we love to live in oblivion just as long as we can feed our pleasure syndromes. We used to call it comfort corruption, but really our refusal [...]

Jazz Blog Special: Johnny Griffin and Horace Parlan, 'Close Your Eyes'

Aug 21, 2011, 9:51am Cahl's Juke Joint: A rock, blues and jazz blog
There might have been faster tenor saxophonists than Johnny Griffin, but no one ever played at such breakneck speed with such elegance.

Johnny Griffin Quartet : Päff, Cologne, Germany 15.11 1973 Johnny Griffin : Tenor saxophone Kenny Drew: Acoustic piano Alby Cullaz : Acoustic bass Art Taylor: Drums Johnny Griffin, the "little giant", died at home in France on friday.

No Title

WHEN WE ARE A WILDERNESS (I) Night of the Senses There are a couple of early snapshots of me and my father that I haven't seen in years, thanks to my mother's inexplicable embargo, in place for well over a decade, on the display or exhibition of family photos. These snapshots are black-and-white in the unselfconscious manner of 1963; I believe the date, not that I'd need it, is stamped on the border of each. In both, I'm sitting on my father's lap in one of the raggedly [...]

thats the way i feel now

Jun 18, 2006, 1:15am GHM on Old Hickory Lake
thats the way i feel now This tune is from a vinyl copy of That's the Way I Feel Now - A Tribute to Thelonious Monk . I don't know if the album exists on cd - I sure haven't found it. The album is incredible with a broad spectrum of jazz and rock musicians. Produced in 1984 by Hal Willner . The cut is Monk's Misterioso, featuring Johnny Griffin , one-time Monk sax man, arranged by Carla Bley with a great band of her usuals that included Steve Swallow , Steve Slagle, Hiram Bullock (I [...]
