JOHNNY GRIFFIN QUARTET - Way Out! (1958-1994) RM | Original Jazz Classics Limited Edition Series | FLAC (tracks+.cue), lossless

This formerly obscure quartet set by tenor-saxophonist Johnny Griffin (reissued on CD in the OJC series) features the fiery soloist on five little-known originals written by Chicagoans plus a burning version of "Cherokee." Virtually all of Griffin's recordings are worth getting and, with the assistance of pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Wilbur Ware and drummer Philly Joe Jones, the tenor is in superior form for this spirited date.
