Hush-A-Bye by Johnny Griffin

[RivieraByBuick]

does thish tune have any other name? what`s the composer?

[beeshor1]

@RivieraByBuick Yes, this tune goes by another name. It's also called "All The Pretty Horses". It's an old traditional African American song from the slavery era. It's originators are unknown.

@beeshor1 that`s not that song, i meant the melody, nor the song or the lyrics. i just remember one song performed either Toto Cutugno or Joe Dassin or some other disco time european and that song shared the same melody...but i can`t find that one.

My mom sang this to me as a young child. Great tune, great artists.

Tina Brook would have smashed this tune for all it was worth. No disrespect to Griffin.

@decus69 I'm a huge fan of Tina's but I can't see anyone owning this song with more authority than the "Little Giant" does here. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks so much for putting this up. I've been wanting to hear some Johnny Griffin after reading so much about him. Michael Weiss is one of my favorite contemporary jazz pianists, so this is a treat altogether.

@AvalonMorley I'm glad you enjoyed it.
