Live concert in Jazzclub B14/Rotterdam/9 March 1963 with Johnny Griffin -tenorsax, Hans van Leeuwen -guitar, Misha Mengelberg -piano, Ruud Jacobs -bass, Han Bennink -drums
(With thanks to jazz researcher Paul Karting from Rotterdam for the tape).
The original piece was 15 min. so I had to cut drasticly. The clip opens with a wonderful solo-cadenza of Johnny, after that it's my turn. I played a rather cheap guitar in those days with a low power amp so I may sound a little bit squeaky sometimes.
