Item Description
The career of hard bop saxophonist Gigi Gryce may
have been short, but it was one filled with
innovation and left a remarkable legacy. Before a
series of financial issues with his publishing
companies forced him out of the music industry, he
lead the way in early usage of quartal harmony,
which would become a standard during the era of
cool jazz, and regularly utilized unorthodox forms of
harmonization, instrumentation, and meter,which
regularly walked the line between experimental
and contemporary. Compositions of Gryce's such
as "Minority", "Nica's Tempo", and "Up In
Quincy's Place" have become minor jazz
standards, and are considered indispensible
parts of the bebop era of jazz.
During his short career, Gigi Gryce would work with
an array of legends such as Charlie Parker, Art
Blakey, Benny Golson, and in 1957, trumpeter and
band-leader Donald Byrd. The two got together with
pianist Tommy Flanagan, bassist Wendell Marshall,
and drummer Art Taylor as backing to produce
seven cuts of smoothly textured hard bop, under
the banner of Jazz Lab. The resulting record proved
to be an exceptional critical hit, and is now
considered a paragon of the subgenre, and a more
than worthy introduction to hard bop.
