Genre: Jazz
Places I remember: The Little Red Bookstore (Hastings)
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Mil Dew
Gear costume: Chicago Calling
Active compensatory factors: Hard bop: Hard bop is a subgenre of jazz that is an extension of bebop (or "bop") music. Journalists and record companies began using the term in the mid-1950s to describe a new current within jazz that incorporated influences from rhythm and blues, gospel music, and blues, especially in saxophone and piano playing.
Johnny Griffith well and truly fits into this sub-genre. His sax playing has elements of those key genres.

His colleagues in this introduction are Wynton Kelly (piano), Curly Russel (bass), and the bebop legend Max Roach (drums).
Together they create a great platform for Griffin and his debut album.
Where do they all belong? More hard bop coming!
