Album Notes & Community Reviews

Living up to its title, 'Change of Pace' finds the traditionally fiery tenor saxophonist exploring unusual textures and instrumentation. Utilizing arrangements that feature two basses and the French horn playing of Julius Watkins, Griffin crafts a rich, chamber-like atmosphere that underscores his versatility as a bandleader.
