Ironically, This Album Entitled: Introducing Johnny Griffin Does Not Have Tenor Saxophonist Johnny, As A Leader, But It Gained Griffin A Great Deal Of Attention. Soon Billed As "The World's Fastest Saxophonist," Griffin Was Also A Superior Ballad Interpreter With A Fairly Distinctive Tone Of His Own. With Strong Support Given By Pianist Wynton Kelly, Bassist Curly Russell, And Drummer Max Roach, Griffin Romps Through: "Mil Dew" (Griffin) "Chicago Calling" (Griffin), "These Foolish Things," "The Boy Next Door," "Nice And Easy," "It's Alright With Me" And "Lover Man".
