Personnel: Johnny Griffin (tenor saxophone); Pat Patrick (alto saxophone); Edwin Williams, Frank Strozier (tenor saxophone); Charlie Davis (baritone saxophone); Clark Terry, Bob Bryant (trumpet); Julian Priester, Matthew Gee (trombone); Bobby Timmons (piano, celeste); Harold Mabern (piano); Bob Cranshaw, Vic Sproles (bass); Charlie Persip (drums). Recorded at Plaza Sound Studios, New York, New York on May 24 & 31 and June 3, 1960. Originally released on Riverside (1179). Includes liner notes by Orrin Keepnews. Digitally remastered by Phil De Lancie (1990, Fantasy Studios, Berkeley, California). Tenor-saxophonist Johnny Griffin is showcased with a ten-piece group on this CD reissue of a Riverside LP which is augmented by a previously unreleased version of "Wade in the Water." The repertoire is a bit unusual with some spirituals (including "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen" and "Deep River"), a tune apiece by Bobby Timmons ("So Tired") and Junior Mance, and three originals from Norman Simmons who arranged all of the selections. Trumpeter Clark Terry and trombonists Matthew Gee and Julian Priester have some short solos but the emphasis is on the leader who is in typically spirited and passionate form. ~ Scott Yanow
