• The three studio albums recorded for Jazzland by the aptly named Tough Tenors, Johnny Griffin and Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis, and their calorific Junior Mance-Larry Gales-Ben Riley rhythm section epitomize what this incendiary group was about.

• The albums : ‘Griff & Lock’, ‘’Tough Tenors’ )both 1960) and ‘Looking At Monk !’ (1961) deliver hearty, full-blowing jazz of the kind now associated with the partnership of contrasting tenor styles.

• Here at the height of their game together, Griff and Lock stand as two swaggering swingers in a take-no-prisoners quintet greatly enhanced by the down-home soulfulness of Mance’s piano.

• 2 CD set (3 original albums) - 19 tracks - 24 Bit Digitally Remastered.

The Jazz Rag - Tony Augarde
There are also some excellent piano solos from Junior Mance, whose feeling for the blues come through clearly.,
Jazzwise - Roy Carr
This must-have release pulls together three Jazzland albums: Griff And Lock, the aptly entitled Tough Tenors and possibly the pair's personal favourite Lookin' At Monk.,****
