ghost of miles Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 (edited) This week on Night Lights it's "Gigi Gryce, Part 1: Social Call." Alto saxophonist, composer, and arranger Gigi Gryce is best remembered today for jazz standards such as "Minority" and "Nica's Tempo," but he made other important contributions that included pioneering self-publishing for musicians. In this, the first of a two-part program, we'll feature some of Gryce's early music, recorded with artists such as Howard McGhee and Clifford Brown, and hear remarks from Gryce co-biographer Mike Fitzgerald (Rat Race Blues). "Social Call" airs Saturday evening at 11:05 (8:05 California time, 10:05 Chicago time) on WFIU; you can listen live, or wait until Monday, when the program will be posted in the Night Lights archives. For more information on Gryce, visit Fitzgerald's website. Next week: "Gigi Gryce, Part 2: Rat Race Blues."

I'm sure a number of us here miss his contributions--hopefully he'll be back at some point. "Gigi Gryce, Part 1: Social Call" is now archived.
