The Johnny Griffin Sextet

Donald Byrd; Pepper Adams; Kenny Drew; Wilbur Ware; Philly Joe Jones

Original deep groove mono pressing from 1958 on Riverside Records, #RLP 12-264. Made in USA.

The vinyl is close to near mint, a couple of tiny marks in a very clean looking surface otherwise, and very little surface noise, occasional very light background ticks, an awesome sounding pressing! The jacket has light wear and tape stains on the laminated front, but much more on the back paste-on. The edges were heavily taped but there seems to have been little reason for that as there are few noticeable areas that are splitting, a little along the spine... and the back shows heavy tape staining, and there is a large "library" sticker still taped there, along with some ball point pen writing, some heavier ringwear as well, and a little red sticker (phew! see the pics).

Johnny Griffin (tenor saxophone); Pepper Adams (baritone saxophone); Donald Byrd (trumpet); Kenny Drew (piano); Wilbur Ware (bass); Philly Joe Jones (drums). Recorded at Reeves Sound Studios, New York, New York on February 25, 1958.

The great tenor Johnny Griffin made his debut on Riverside with this sextet set. Griffin is teamed with trumpeter Donald Byrd, baritonist Pepper Adams, pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Wilbur Ware and drummer Philly Joe Jones for three obscure tunes, the ballad "What's New" and a cooking version of "Woody'N You." High-quality hard bop from some of the best. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
