Johnny Griffin THE CHICAGO SOUND (2 LPS ON 1 CD)

Description: Johnny Griffin THE CHICAGO SOUND (2 LPS ON 1 CD) Personnel: Johnny Griffin (ts), John Jenkins (as), Junior Mance (p), Wilbur Ware (b), Buddy Smith, Wilbur Campbell, Frank Dunlop (d) Reference: FSRCD 548 The group of modern Chicagoans on this album had much experience working together, and strikingly similar approaches to jazz: they were joined by much more than just coincidence of birthplace. Here is the sound of Johnny Griffin, a hard blowing tenorman, full of soul, authority and individuality, on his debut album as a leader. With him are bassist Wilber Ware, notable for the strong, firm beat he lays down, and the unusual, genuinely creative solos he constructs, Julian Junior Mance, a swinging modern pianist with an emotional link to jazz tradition, and Buddy Smith, a New Orleans drummer, but Chicagoan by adoption, who grooves with vigor and rhythmic drive. The second album in this set was Wares idea. John Jenkins, an exceedingly promising alto, was younger than his Chicago colleagues but had played with them often and was a welcome addition to the group. Heavily contributing to the excitement generated by the blowing of the horns is the unfailing Wilbur Campbell, a firm and imaginative drummer. It all adds up to what epitomizes The Chicago Sound.
