Johnny Griffin - Man I Love

Teamed up with pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Albert ""Tootie"" Heath for a club date at Copenhagen's Montmartre in 1967, 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. The album was remastered for vinyl from original analog tapes by Bernie Grundman, and pressed on audiophile-grade vinyl at Pallas Group in Germany.
