A Blowing Session (Blue Note Classic)

Don't mind us, we're just admiring three iconic giants linking up back in the 50s. A Blowing Session captures Johnny Griffin, John Coltrane and Hank Mobley all pushing each other to the edge back in 1957. With Lee Morgan, Wynton Kelly, Paul Chambers and Art Blakey stoking the fire, the session is packed with speed, swagger and peak hard bop. - Flying Out

Johnny Griffin called upon his fellow master practitioners of the tenor saxophone John Coltrane and Hank Mobley for his second Blue Note album 'A Blowing Session' in 1957. The fiery set features trumpeter Lee Morgan balancing out the three-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 stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.
