this is just great bob.great to see a stage full of giants some here some gone bless em all.right up my street this is brings back memories galore right back to the early 50s and it goes to show our home grown musicians could always hold there own anywhere.great post many thanks.
Came for Harris Group, but found Griff blowing a real flag-waver. Obviously a ‘showcase’ feature that is just a tad indulgent. And this from a big band groupie, and sax-man, to boot. Melody gets strained beyond recognition as de rigeur bebop stem-winder, as Griff finds and loses the thread often. Harris, on other hand, ‘takes it out’ but the shape of tune never lost. Aloha...
Even for Frank Wess knew Johnny Griffin a hard to follow. Both are giants. Johnny exhausted every bit right down to the keys. Roy Hayes, poly rolling around the drums like the master drummer of the last great stand.
ONCE again a total abuse of the rhythm section. Johnny takes 7 choruses and says NOTHING. The great Gene Harris is missed. Martin, Jim, Andrew, Frank and Gene are a classy as their Tux'es.
@@darrylschultz9395 yes, I turned them off shortly after making my comment. Thank God that kind of noise can simply be turned off quickly. Feel sorry for whoever was forced to sit through it.
@georgeallan6550 Hard man to please-Griffin's sax playing is one of the best jazz solos I've seen on RUclips. People considered by many music lovers to be at or near the top of their field probably aren't doing "noise".,
@@darrylschultz9395 To me it's just a bunch of scrambled masterbation. jazz guys eventually get carried away and just masterbate and the artistic pardign they adopt encourages it. The more scrambled and random the better they think it is.

Jim Mullen ranks right up there with the top jazz guitarists.
No he doesn't. His bastardized technique makes him very limited.
Gene has that golden touch. Rip
thanks, feel much better
The Little Giant is a Giant

Bit too much "Look at me" too.

Says nothing coz he was busy letting his fabulous sax playing speak for him.🤩
Dead on arrival.
Johnny Griffin is tiresome.
Tiresome is not how I would describe Mr.Griffin. Tireless , Timeless , energetic, and he sure as hell doesn't annoy me.
Staffan Lindström All he does on this video is play brilliant jazz saxophone-how anyone can get "tiresome" out of that beats me.
Take a two day nap buddy, then go to the kiddies corner
Sometimes a solo can go on a bit too long for some people especially those who don't understand what's going on. I found his playing to be flawless.
I agree Staffan. His 5 min solo was too long vs. 2 to 2.5 mins. And yes, I do know what is going on!
J G solo far too long
De acuerdo.
What jibberish.
Horrible. Just noise.
No eres justo.
No off button on your device?🤔
