Personnel: Johnny Griffin (tenor saxophone); Kenny Drew (piano); Niels-Henning Orsted Perdersen (bass); Albert Heath (drums).
Recorded at Montmartre Jazzhuis, Copenhagen, Denmark on March 30, 1967. Includes liner notes by Alun Morgan.
Teamed up with pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath for a club date at Copenhagen's Montmartre in 1967 (reissued on CD by Black Lion), the great tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin really stretches out on four numbers: "The Man I Love," "Hush-A-Bye," "Blues for Harvey" and a memorable version of "The Masquerade Is Over." Griffin shows why he was early on billed as "the world's fastest tenor" although he also displays warmth on "Sophisticated Lady." A fine example of Griffin's underrated talents. ~ Scott Yanow
