Reference: FSRCD 548

The group ofmodern Chicagoans on this album had much experience working together, andstrikingly similar approaches to jazz: they were joined by much more than justcoincidence of birthplace. Here is the sound of Johnny Griffin, a hard blowingtenorman, full of soul, authority and individuality, on his debut album as aleader. With him are bassist Wilber Ware, notable for the strong, firm beat helays down, and the unusual, genuinely creative solos he constructs, JulianJunior Mance, a swinging modern pianist with an emotional link to jazztradition, and Buddy Smith, a New Orleans drummer, but Chicagoan by adoption,who grooves with vigor and rhythmic drive.

The secondalbum in this set was Wares idea. John Jenkins, an exceedingly promising alto,was younger than his Chicago colleagues but had played with them often and wasa welcome addition to the group. Heavily contributing to the excitementgenerated by the blowing of the horns is the unfailing Wilbur Campbell, a firmand imaginative drummer. It all adds up to what epitomizes The Chicago Sound.
