One of the most combustible hard bop sessions ever captured on tape, A Blowing Session brings together three of jazz's greatest tenor voices, Johnny Griffin, John Coltrane, and Hank Mobley, on a single Blue Note date recorded in 1957. Trumpeter Lee Morgan completes the frontline while the rhythm section of Wynton Kelly (piano), Paul Chambers (bass), and Art Blakey (drums) drives the ensemble with characteristic fire and precision. It remains Griffin's most celebrated recording and one of the essential documents of the Blue Note catalog.
This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is pressed on 180-gram vinyl, mastered in mono by Kevin Gray directly from the original analog master tapes, and manufactured at Optimal pressing plant, the same facility trusted for the most demanding audiophile releases in production today.
