Johnny Griffin
John Arnold Griffin III (April 24, 1928 – July 25, 2008) was an American bop and hard bop tenor saxophonist. Like many other successful musicians from Chicago, he studied music at DuSable High School under Walter Dyett. Griffin, was reputed to be the 'World's Fastest Saxophonist' in the jazz idiom, though as he aged, and as the jazz audience declined, this accolade all but disappeared. In the 1940s and 1950s he worked in Lionel Hampton's and Joe Morris's bands, in the Jazz Messengers, and in the Thelonious Monk Quartet.

Flash of Brilliance
In the depths of a creative night, Where shadows dance and dreams take flight, A mind once vibrant, now stands still, Yearning for that elusive thrill. But in the quiet, whispers gleam, Tiny sparks that light the dream, A note, a hue, a fleeting thought, Inspiration, so dearly sought. Embrace these moments, small yet bright, They guide you through the darkest night, For brilliance lies in every spark, A masterpiece within the dark.more
