about

Johnny Griffin is a product of the era when you didn’t need a DNA sample or fingerprints to identify an instrumental soloist – two or three notes were all that it took to reveal the player’s persona. This was the period before BC (Before Coltrane) when no two tenors sounded alike. In 1958 Griffin had used Kenny Drew on two albums for Riverside and in an interview of the time remarked that Kenny was the pianist he would like to work with regular. The opportunity presented itself in Europe, where the two musicians were able to play together especially in the clubs of Copenhagen.

Touch My Beloved's Thought
by Greg Ward

Ward's swirling, breezy sax feels very close and intimate - listening to it I pictured myself in a small basement room as the band played - but the 10 tongues paint a joyful and sophisticated urban fairytale that changes scene cinematically and builds to a satisfying finale. Tom Colquhoun

Brazen Heart Live at Jazz Standard - Complete
by Dave Douglas Quintet 2015

supported by 4 fans who also own “Catharsis!”

Yes,yes,yes! I've been waiting for Dave to do this again...two brilliant runs by DDQ and Keystone were documented on Greenleaf back in the day; they were groundbreaking...recorded and released within 24 hours for each set...they were stellar performances and I play them again and again. With absolutely no chance of ever being there, this is the closest i'll ever be to 'being there'...so excited I may need to lay down in a darkened room for a while! John Cratchley
