Re-broadcast of Gigi Gryce show w/Mike Fitzgerald

[ghost of miles]

Hey all, I'm re-running my three-hour special on Gigi Gryce, featuring music and remarks from Gryce biographer (and Organissimo poster) Michael Fitzgerald. Here's the blurb:

Alto saxophonist and composer Gigi Gryce is one of the great mysteries of modern jazz. Jazz fans may know his frequently-covered tunes such as “Minority,” “Nica’s Tempo,” or “Social Call,” but they know little about the man who wrote them. In the 1950s he seemed on the verge of becoming a musical legend, only to leave the jazz world behind and disappear for the last 20 years of her life. What happened to this sensitive, prolific player and composer?

Drat, the one night I'm going out for dinner. Oh well, hopefully I can catch the first 1/2 hour and, perhaps, the last hour or so. Thanks for the heads up GofM.
