Johnny Griffin (Usa, 1958) - Blowin Session
Blow, man, blow! Go, man. Go !!
"Once there was Louis Armstrong blowing his beautiful top in the muds of New Orleans; before him the mad
musicians who had paraded on official days and broke up their Sousa marches into ragtime. Then there was swing,
and Roy Eldridge, vigorous and virile, blasting the horn for everything it had in waves of power and logic
and subtlety-leaning into it with glittering eyes and a lovely smile and sending it out broadcast to
rock the jazz world." -Jack Kerouac, On the Road Part 3, Ch. 10
I went one afternoon to the church of my childhood and had a vision of what I must have really meant with "Beat"...
the vision of the word Beat as being to mean beatific... People began to call themselves beatniks, beats,
jazzniks, bopniks, bugniks and finally I was called the "avatar" of all this. -Jack Kerouac
Writers are, in a way, very powerful indeed. They write the script for the reality film. Kerouac opened a million
coffee bars and sold a million pairs of Levis to both sexes. Woodstock rises from his pages. Now if writers could
get together into a real tight union, we'd have the world right by the words. We could write our own universes,
and they would be as real as a coffee bar or a pair of Levis or a prom in the Jazz Age. -Jack Kerouac
Bass - Paul Chambers (3)
Drums - Art Blakey
Piano - Wynton Kelly
Tenor Saxophone - Hank Mobley, John Coltrane, Johnny Griffin
Trumpet - Lee Morgan
