What's the deal with Johnny Griffin on Monk I know Johnny Griffin is a great jazz player and all that and not doubting his skill, but I was listening to Thelonious in Action and Misterioso tonight and his playing sticks out like a sore thumb.  Very bebop oriented and totally out of place in the sound of Monk's Quartet.  He sounds like a shredder (metal guitarist term) who just loses melody and nuance in order to play a ton of notes.  I don't like his tone either.  His playing doesn't gel, it's like he is playing in another band.  Full disclosure, I have not listened to any of his albums so I don't know if he developed his style more later on, but I have listened to a ton of Monk and other sax greats and he wouldn't be anywhere near my top 20 list.  Any suggestions for a Johnny Griffin album since I'd like a good showcase of his talents outside of the Monk continuum.
