Reviewed: 2019-12-02 Genre: Jazz FCCs: none Review: The two tenor saxophones of Griffin and Davis burst forth once again with this dose of classic high-speed hard bop recorded live for radio broadcast in 1962 and unheard since. No prizes for innovation, but gold medals all round for energy, musicality and sheer skill from the quintet. If You Like: Sonny Stitt, Gene Ammons, Dexter Gordon Track Review (favorites denoted by *): 1/ Intermission Riff (0:53) – spoken intro with short uptempo jam **2/ Blues Up And Down (6:48) – sax starts> fast tempo jam> sax solo> 2nd sax solo> fast jam> piano solo> fast jam with drum fills> crescendo end **3/ Ow!
