GIGI GRYCE QUARTET

Description: GIGI GRYCE QUARTET Personnel: Gigi Gryce (fl, cl, as, ts, bs) with Hank Jones (p), Milt Hinton (b), Osie Johnson (d) Reference: FSRCD 1637 Prior to this album, saxophonist Gigi Gryce had never recorded on anything but his celebrated alto. We wanted to get on tape sounds and styles that have never been associated with him, said producer Jack Lazare. So, for the first time, Gryce recorded on flute, clarinet, tenor and baritone sax- in addition to alto, playing several of these instruments in the same tune through multiple tracking. Gryce also provided his group with provocative arrangements of some well known jazz standards and some originals. The rhythm section offers strong support, with pianist Hank Jones contributing not only as pianist and composer, but also in doing much to make this challenging musical venture a successful one.
