�I will say without equivocation that this latest assembly of Frank Griffith�s work has delighted me�

Sir John Dankworth
- click to see this picture of Frank with Sir John (and Eddy)!!

I am a great admirer of the work of Frank Griffith. He is an admirable tenor player, a delightful clarinettist with a wonderful tone, an arranger and composer of great skill and ingenuity and as though all that wasn�t enough, he is as kindly and modest a man as you could ever wish to meet.

Body & Soul is one of the greatest Ballads ever and Frank�s version is a welcome addition to the fine soloists from Coleman Hawkins onward who have played it.

Don Mather
