The record
Recorded live before a Japanese audience, this set catches Griffin burning hot and fast alongside Horace Parlan, Mads Vinding, and Art Taylor -- a working road band rather than a studio pickup group. Inner City's tape preserves the loose fire of an actual tour date, not a one-off session.
