Jazz / Hard Bop
Recorded: Oct 23, 1957
Johnny Griffin is one of the fastest, sharpest tenor saxophonists to emerge in the fertile 1950s. His third and final Blue Note recording is one of a handful that sported a cover illustration by then struggling artist Andy Warhol.
The quartet date with Sonny Clark and Paul Chambers is a relaxed, mature affair that ranges from the gospel-flavored title tune to a beautiful "I'm Glad There Is You" and an up-tempo "It's You or No One." Added to the original album is "I Remember You," a bonus track from the session.
The RVG Series consists of classic blue note albums newly remastered in 24-bit by the original engineer, legendary Rudy Van Gelder, with state-of-the-art equipment.
