Johnny Griffin - The Big Soul-Band (mp3, 320)

Tenor-saxophonist Johnny Griffin is showcased with a ten-piece group on this CD reissue of a Riverside LP which is augmented by a previously unreleased version of \"Wade in the Water.\" The repertoire is a bit unusual with some spirituals (including \"Nobody Knows the Trouble I\'ve Seen\" and \"Deep River\"), a tune apiece by Bobby Timmons (\"So Tired\") and Junior Mance, and three originals from Norman Simmons who arranged all of the selections. Trumpeter Clark Terry and trombonists Matthew Gee and Julian Priester have some short solos but the emphasis is on the leader who is in typically spirited and passionate form.
