Thanks so much for posting this! I bought this album on vinyl when it came out and gave it away when I got rid of all my records. Been looking for it online for years and here it is! The Little Giant has never sounded better in my opinion and the rhythm section is at the top of their game. Been listening to it pretty much non-stop the past few days.
Dig "The Way It Is," (19:43). Goes from slow and bluesy to furioso double-time and back again, and it all swings. An astonishing five-minute tutorial on Griffin's mastery of the tenor sax.
Holy f@@k how fast is Johnny on tenor. My lord 😅 This album is astonishing. Thanks for the upload. Update . Grabbed my tenor and have learnt ,I should care and when we were one. Tried fifty six but had to simplify it lol. Playing at a night club later on Alto. Paid of course.
