Johnny Griffin, known as the world's fastest tenor-saxophonist in the late 1950's, purposely slowed down a bit on some of his later Riverside albums including this set which was reissued on a 1998 CD.
Griffin is joined by pianist
Buddy Montgomery (who switches to vibes on two of the six numbers), bassist
Monk Montgomery (heard in a rare outing on acoustic bass) and drummer
Art Taylor. They perform four standards (including "The Midnight Sun Will Never Set" and "That's All") and a couple of
Griffin's basic originals. The music swings and the classic tenorman cuts loose a few times, making for enjoyable if not quite essential music.
