Return Of The Griffin
About This Album
Johnny Griffin recorded this studio album during his first visit to the United States in 15 years. Accompanied by a very supportive trio (pianist Ronnie Mathews, bassist Ray Drummond and drummer Keith Copeland), the great tenor is in frequently exuberant form on such tunes as "Autumn Leaves," his own "A Monk's Dream" and the funky "The Way It Is." Long one of the underrated masters, Johnny Griffin is heard at the peak of his powers on this modern bop session. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

"Return of the Griffin," was definitely recorded at a prime time in this artist's life. It is a much better example of Griffin and the bop genre than some of his later work.
