Our Take

The year is 1957, jazz is in full swing, and two titans of the tenor saxophone, John Coltrane and Johnny Griffin, come together for a legendary blowing session that will leave you breathless. A Blowing Session is a rollercoaster ride of virtuosity and creativity, with Coltrane and Griffin trading blistering solos and pushing each other to new heights. From the opening track "The Way You Look Tonight", it's clear that these two giants are in a league of their own, effortlessly weaving in and out of each other's lines with a telepathic connection that is truly awe-inspiring. The standout track on the album has to be "Ball Bearing", a frenetic bebop romp that sees Coltrane and Griffin at their most ferocious. The energy and intensity on display here is simply jaw-dropping, with the two saxophonists pushing each other to the limit and creating a musical fireworks display that will leave you gasping for air. But it's not all about blistering speed and technical virtuosity. Tracks like "Blues Up and Down" and "Cliché" show a more laid-back side to both Coltrane and Griffin, with soulful melodies and lyrical phrasing that will tug at your heartstrings. So if you're looking for a masterclass in saxophone playing and a front-row seat to a historic musical meeting of minds, then look no further than A Blowing Session. This album is a must-have for any jazz lover, and a timeless testament to the genius of Coltrane and Griffin.
