Born George General Grice Jr. In Florida on November 28, 1925, jazz saxophonist, flautist, clarinettist, composer, arranger and educator, Gigi Gryce - the name by which he would be known in jazz circles - was never a top drawer but has remained an inspiration to players and composers from the same genre ever since his heyday. This 4 CD collection features the best albums made by Gryce as leader or co-leader - which includes his entire recorded output with Jazz lab - between 1955 and 1960. Each of these eight records displays amply the great man's huge musical, arranging and compositional abilities which in most cases leave his contemporaries short, and while Gryce has never been a household name, one listen to the music presented herein will leave most jazz fans wondering why.
