Johnny Griffin's A Blowing Session stands as a quintessential hard bop recording from 1957, showcasing the tenor saxophonist's fiery playing alongside fellow horn players in high-octane performances. This Blue Note classic captures the warm and bright sound characteristic of the label's golden era, with punchy horns supported by smooth bass lines that create an irresistible groove.
The album features fascinating contrasts between the saxophonists' distinctive styles as they tackle both jazz standards like "The Way You Look Tonight" and "All the Things You Are" alongside Griffin originals including "Ball Bearing" and "Smoke Stack." This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition has been expertly mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes in all-analog mono, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Optimal to deliver the full impact of this legendary session.
