  • Johnny Griffin and Kenny Washington towards the end of this clip are stunning.

    Art in real time. No weeks or months to write a book, paint a picture, jot down a poem these guys produce the finest artistic moments in a few split seconds.

  • I saw Johnny Griffin in 1998 down at the Village Vanguard NYC, He was wailing! During the break, he showed me his mouthpiece, Quote, " I got this Metal Link from Lockjaw, it's a 10* " As a sax player, It was so cool talking to the "Little Giant". I was so blown away! That mouthpiece of his has a tip opening of .135". It takes Massive chops!! His sound was huge! He was the fastest tenor who ever lived. What a nice guy too, I learned so much from him...
