Durium Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 GIGI GRYCE Gigi Gryce ( 1925-1983) is one of those jazz musicians that didn't got the recognition they deserve ...... As an alto saxophone player he was a follower of Bird and found his inspiration in the music played in the past ........ His legacy contains some fine tunes, which never have been given due homage - One of his last albums, The Rat Race Blues, released by Prestige / New Jazz was recorded 50 years ago. As always, very crisp, precise and bluesy Gryce ( quote ( Ron Wynn)) quote ( Ron Wynn)) Gigi Gryce and his 50 years old Rat Race Blues Durium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
