John Arnold Griffin III (born in 1928) is 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. 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. From 1960 to 1962 he and Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis led their own group. He moved to France in 1963 and to the Netherlands in 1973, and has continued to tour and record extensively.
