Johnny Griffin - The Man I Love Exclusive Vinyl 180 Gram Lp - Vinyl

Teamed up with pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath for a club date at Copenhagen''s Montmartre in 1967 (reissued on CD by Black Lion), the great tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin really stretches out on four numbers: "The Man I Love," "Hush-A-Bye," "Blues for Harvey" and a memorable version of "The Masquerade Is Over." Griffin shows why he was early on billed as "the world''s fastest tenor" although he also displays warmth on "Sophisticated Lady." A fine example of Griffin''s underrated talents.
