Johnny Griffin, the Little Giant from the South Side of Chicago,
has remained a top jazz saxophonist throughout his 62-year playing
career. He has spent 42 years in Europe and is recognized
internationally as a major jazz star with a readily identifiable
style, an immense improvisational flair and an unfailing capacity
to swing. As jazz writer Brian Priestley has observed: Griffin is
one of the fastest and most accurate ever on his instrument.
Griffin is an articulate, witty and entertaining conversationalist
with an unending flow of anecdotal reminiscences about his days
with Lionel Hampton, Art Blakey, Thelonious Monk, Eddie Lockjaw
Davis, the Clarke Boland Big Band and the variety of small groups
he has fronted over the years. The Little Giant is a light-hearted,
irreverent and uninhibited look at the life of one of the most
consummate musicians in jazz. Author Mike Hennessey is a jazz
critic, producer, broadcaster and pianist. Other books by him
include a biography of the late drummer, Kenny Clarke, Klook, and a
history of Ronnie Scott's Club, Some of My Best Friends Are Blues.
He has covered the international music scene for Billboard magazine
for 27 years and he has written more than 500 album notes and
hundreds of articles for a wide range of jazz magazines in North
America and Europe."
