@Guitfiddlejase Johnny Griffin is not a particularly lyrical saxophonist. I like saxophone phrases to appear as fragments of a narrative.

Your comment reminds me of an interview I once saw with Jimmy Heath-where he said almost exactly that.I couldn't agree more... He added that Johnny Griffin disagreed,but hey...

As a saxophonist I find listening to a song with a vocalist one of the most insightful ways to learn the melody and phrasing. The phrases actually are given their meaning, a story to the song, sets the tone of it.
