Remembering Johnny Griffin, the Little Giant
from The Art of the Story · host WBGO Studios
On what would have been his 98th birthday, Leo Sidran remembers Johnny Griffin, the Chicago-born tenor saxophonist known as “The Little Giant.” Through Griffin’s own words, we revisit his belief that jazz was made by people who chose to feel good in spite of conditions, and how he eventually found a different rhythm of life in France.
