You can't ever have too much Johnny Griffin...

I see my buddy Keith Uhlich at The House Next Door has noted the passing of jazz great Johnny Griffin with both a link and a clip. But one is not enough. Here he is, jam­ming out with trum­peter Woody Shaw on the bop anthem “A Night In Tunisia.” 
Griffin and Shaw wer­en’t pion­eers or groundbreakers—just dynam­ite play­ers who gave their all every time out. Always a pro­found pleas­ure to hear. (Also, much appre­ci­ation to Pedro Mendes, whose jazz clip post­ings on YouTube are about the greatest things there.)
