Duke Ellington: In A Sentimental Mood (arr. by Kornel Fekete-Kovacs) Budapest Jazz Orchestra feat. Johnny Griffin tenor saxophone. Conducted by Kornel Fekete-Kovacs
The Little Giant shines big in this piece. I’ve always loved his sound & style of play!!!! Always a standout from a period of great Tenor Sax players!!!!
With just his intro, he had outplayed everything I've ever played in my life. I'll get there, though... Masterclass, here I come. Y'all never forget my words, and wish me luck on my way to the greats. Y'all be blessed, and see y'all again when I finally get there. Stay safe.
I adore the band's accompaniment -especially during Johnny's smooth and constructive improvisation. While the Orchestra sings so mellifluously as does a Nightingale, Johnny exudes that big, round, traditionalist tenor saxophone sound-voice a la Ben Webster and a la Don Byas.
Not terribly impressed by the band but is always good to hear great Griffin. He is clearly showing his Johnny Hodges- Ben Webster roots while always remaining Johnny Griffin.

I'll bet the Budapest Jazz Orchestra enjoyed playing with the late great Johnny Griffin. Nice to have this preserved on video.
