Johnny Griffin has (at least since the mid-'50s) been one of the masters of the tenor sax although consistently underrated. This studio session is one of his great achievements, particularly a fascinating (and cleverly constructed) 17-minute version of 'A Night in Tunisia.' Whether it be his own 'The Jams Are Coming' or a lyrical version of the veteran ballad 'Since I Fell for You,' Griffin (joined here by guitarist George Freeman, bassist Sam Jones, drummer Albert Heath and percussionist Kenneth Nash ) is inspired and quite creative throughout this highly recommended gem. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
