Description

JOHNNY GRIFFIN "KERRY DANCERS"
RIVERSIDE 420 MONO LP!

Many straight-ahead bop musicians would never consider recording traditional folk songs from the British Isles, but that's exactly what Johnny Griffin does on The Kerry Dancers and Other Swinging Folk -- and this Orrin Keepnews-produced album just happens to be one of his best releases of the 1960s. Joined by pianist Barry Harris, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Ben Riley, the big-toned Chicago tenor man turns his attention to four traditional folk melodies: "The Londonderry Air" (also known as "Danny Boy"), "Green Grow the Rushes" (a Scottish favorite), "The Kerry Dancers" (an Irish piece), and "Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair" -- all of which work perfectly well in an acoustic jazz setting. Not everything on this album (which was recorded in late 1961 and early 1962) is a folk song from the British Isles; the other half of the album ranges from Griffin's moody "Oh, Now I See" to the John Coltrane-influenced "25 1/2 Daze." Griffin is as hard-swinging and improvisatory on "The Londonderry Air" as he is on "25 1/2 Daze" and "Oh, Now I See." The Kerry Dancers and Other Swinging Folk is among the many Griffin releases that the Chicagoan can be proud of.

Nice clean MONO copy of this wonderful LP. The cover is in great shape with no evidence of ringwear; the only sign of its age is slight damage to the top left and bottom right corners. Vinyl is excellent with light surface marks.

Tuesday Night 8/10: To answer a few folks' questions: As you can probably see from the scan, it's not a DG. And, no, the marks don't affect the play BUT having just played both sides, I will say that there is substantial surface noise (not scratches but intermittent crackling) throughout. Not enough to make it unlistenable but it certainly detracts from the experience.
