The record
A hard-charging session that leans into the era's soul-jazz current, with Griffin's tenor riding twin organ textures from Hank Jones and Big John Patton while Patato Valdes' congas add a Latin-tinged pulse. Recorded for Atlantic in 1963, it finds the tenor firebrand working a grittier, groove-first setting than his Blue Note dates.
