Our Take

"Ding dong, the saxophone wizard Johnny Griffin is here to sprinkle some jazz magic on us with Four Classic Albums. This compilation is a time capsule of Griffin's sensational artistry, showcasing his unparalleled virtuosity and infectious charisma.

On "Introducing Johnny Griffin," the man himself wastes no time proving why he's a force to be reckoned with. From the lightning-fast runs on "Mil Dew" to the soulful balladry of "Gymnastics," Griffin's saxophone speaks volumes without uttering a single word.

Next up, "The Congregation" sees Griffin leading a star-studded ensemble through a series of electrifying performances. Tracks like "Olive Refractions" and "Centerpiece" demonstrate Griffin's ability to hold court while letting his bandmates shine, creating a harmonious balance that keeps the listener on the edge of their seat.

"Way Out!" takes things up a notch with its avant-garde explorations and boundary-pushing compositions. Griffin's ingenuity shines through on tracks like "65th St. Theme" and "Rhythm-A-Ning," inviting the listener to get lost in a sonic labyrinth of creativity and innovation.

And finally, "Blues for Harvey" offers a glimpse into Griffin's more introspective side, showcasing his tender side on tracks like "Four Five and Six" and "The Jamfs Are Coming." This album serves as a poignant reminder of Griffin's versatility and his ability to tug at the heartstrings with just a few notes.

In conclusion, Four Classic Albums is a testament to Johnny Griffin's enduring legacy in the world of jazz. A must-listen for fans old and new, this compilation cements Griffin's status as a true titan of the genre. Do yourself a favour and let Griffin's saxophone take you on a mesmerising journey through the annals of musical history."
