The Triple-Volume Launch

The Live at Tobacco Road series is a nearly four-hour journey through contemporary jazz. Each volume offers a different lens into Griffin’s improvisational mastery.

“One day, I was walking down the street, and I heard this music coming out of the Persian Ballroom. I went in. And there was Sun Ra, rehearsing with Marshall Allen, John Gilmore, Ronnie Boykins, and Phil Cohran on trumpet. He had the band there. Sun Ra was real soft spoken, very nice. He was from the South, and he had this certain kind of sign language. He nodded to me, and said, so softly, ‘You play trombone? Come by tomorrow and bring your horn.’ - Dick Griffin
