Yes, Johnny wrote "When We Were One". Beautiful, isn't it?

That's the Chicago tenor sound and he recorded this again with Roy Hargrove on Tenors of our Time

Thank you, nostoz !
I like Griffin very much.
He can compose so many tune !

[@adamrafferty]

Notice how no one in the audience is scolling on their smartphone....those were the times! Most audiences today would have the attention span to listen and just chill.

Thanks for posting, in any case.

[@Saxophonist1990]

[@king7allah]

This was Europe all Kenny Clarke left mjq in mid fifties.

[@valentinafabi]

Sarei curioso di sapere chi sono alcuni dei personaggi - allora giovanissimi - e dei volti noti sparsi tra il pubblico........

[@J0hnC0ltrane]

Ricky Nelson in the audience

[@dimitriskaraganis]

Johny's sound here reminds me Ernie Watts

[@nysaxman]

Anybody know the entire lineup? Kenny Clarke on drums?

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

The musicians are in the video description. The instrument names are in Italian but they're not that different from english.

[@mwillis201]

Who is on the Drums?

[@hotice8885]

Kenny Clarke, Drums

[@peterfernandezrizzo1905]

The drummer is sweet and wet!

[@Alino17]

Kenny "Clook" Clarke. Check out Clarke Boland Big Band, maybe Mark Murphy "Midnight Mood" Recording, just to start
