| A great lost
date from the wonderful Gigi Gryce – a set that features the altoist in
an sextet, but often swinging with a looser vibe than on some of his
better-known albums from the 50s! There's a mix of soulful and modern
here that's not unlike the Art Farmer/Benny Golson Jazztet – both
players of Gryce's same postwar generation, and coincidentally recording
for Mercury at the same time. Although the groove here is definitely
different – less emphasis on the bottom, and more on the top – not just
Gryce's wonderfully raspy alto, but also the trumpet of Richard Williams
too. All other players are great as well – and Eddie Costa brings in
some sweet vibes – in a lineup that also features Richard Wyands on
piano, and either Reggie Workman or George Duvivier on bass, and either
Walter Perkins or Bob Thomas on drums. Tracks include "Reminiscing",
"Gee Blues Gee", "Blue Light", and "Night In Tunisia". |
