Johnny Griffin called upon his fellow master practitioners of the tenor saxophone John Coltrane & Hank Mobley for his second Blue Note album, A Blowing Session, in 1957. The fiery set features trumpeter Lee Morgan balancing out the 3-tenor frontline while a rhythm section with pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Art Blakey stokes the fires. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is mono, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
