Johnny Griffin Quartet: Johnny Griffin (tenor saxophone); Kenny Drew (piano); Wilbur Ware (bass); Philly Joe Jones (drums). Recorded at Reeves Sound Studios, New York, New York in February 1958. Originally released on Riverside (274). Includes liner notes by Orrin Keepnews. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1994, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Personnel: Johnny Griffin (saxophone, tenor saxophone); Kenny Drew (piano); Philly Joe Jones (drums). Liner Note Author: Orrin Keepnews. Recording information: Reeves Sound Studios, New York, NY (02/26/1958-02/27/1958). Unknown Contributor Roles: Kenny Drew; Philly Joe Jones; Wilbur Ware. This formerly obscure quartet set by tenor-saxophonist Johnny Griffin (reissued on CD in the OJC series) features the fiery soloist on five little-known originals written by Chicagoans plus a burning version of "Cherokee." Virtually all of Griffin's recordings are worth getting and, with the assistance of pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Wilbur Ware and drummer Philly Joe Jones, the tenor is in superior form for this spirited date. ~ Scott Yanow
