GOOD SHOW, July 25, 2008
This review is from: Studio Jazz Party (Audio CD)
Recorded in the early 60's before a private audience in the recording studio with Babs Gonzales as the M.C. Johnny is joined by trumpeter Dave Burns and a rhythm section led by Norman Simmons. They stretch out Tadd Dameron's Good Bait to 12 mins and split the ballad You've Changed, with Simmons not being heard in solo on this track. That first track is a brief introduction by Babs and he returns for some briefer comments- so it's 5 tunes for 40 min or so, not 6.---- A little known Johnny Griffin sideman session is vibeist Johnny Lytle's NICE AND EASY session from 1962. Bobby Timmons was the pianist.

Whatta great venue for a live recording, June 1, 2011
This review is from: Studio Jazz Party (Audio CD)
If you're interested in a very entertaining and hugely talented cast, crew, and friends having ball at a small LIVE venue with nicely executed recording, hook up to Studio Jazz Party. Many have done it, but the scene should be a minimum requirement of any of the greats. The jam "Low Gravy" will send you. I wish I was there.
