Lance I was also at the fantastic concert in 1967 in the Connaught Hall'.
One anecdotal story I do remember was that at half time we ran down the stairs in the Eldon Grill for a drink thinking we would be ahead of the half time rush.
Not. So!!! The whole of the band including Johnny Griffin had drinks in their hands. Before we arrived.
The concert was another of my I was there on my list. On stage Johnny Griffin use to Lean in the curve of the grand piano if he was not doing one of his fantastic solos. I wonder if the beer was a little to strong for him ,but in no way did it inhibit his wonderful musicianship.
Great nights jazz.
Lucky Thompson once said that he asked Johnny Griffin how come he could play so good when he was stoned. Griffin replied "Because I was stoned when I learned to play"!
Love it, Lance!
Thanks, Lance. What a brilliant piece that is by Johnny Griffin. A really muscular but beautiful sound. I don't think I had heard anything of his before.
If all the Blue Note LPs are as good inside as the outside cover, do you happen to have in your extensive archive Stanley Turrentine Rough 'N Tumble with McCoy Tyner and others?
By the way, if some people are old enough to have been at a Johnny Griffin concert in the Connaught Hall in 1967 then in the current circumstances they may well be in an at-risk group (aren't we all?). I assume they had permission from GP, Police, local TimeLord to be time travelling more than 2km from their home.
I have a couple of Stanley Turrentine's - Common Touch & Look Out but not Rough & Tumble. It's probably on YouTube or Spotify.
My favourite live recording is Full House - Johnny Griffin and Wes Montgomery with the Miles rhythm section of Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers & Jimmy Cobb. They all play out of their skins with the rhythm section in lift off mode. Griffin's solos are a masterpiece in solo building but then they are all on scintillating form. The atmosphere in the club is electric. I wonder if it's the best live jazz recording ever made?
Best live recording ever made? I think you are trying to start up another list!
