Johnny Griffin – Blowing Session (LP Vinyl)

Johnny Griffin earned his nickname "The Little Giant" honestly, cutting through sessions with a speed and ferocity that left fellow tenors scrambling to keep up. On this 1957 Blue Note date, Griffin shares the front line with Hank Mobley and John Coltrane, with Art Blakey holding down the rhythm, making it one of the most stacked tenor battles in hard bop history.
