Gigi Gryce Essentials

Composer/saxophonist Gigi Gryce bopped hard during the '50s. His lyrical alto style softens bebop's sharp edges in his oft-covered "Minority", while "Nica's Tempo" celebrates so-called Bebop Baroness Nica de Koenigswarter with elliptic rhythms and angular changes. Gryce found a sympathetic foil in piquant trumpeter Art Farmer on tunes like "Deltitnu". Following sultry 1960 performances like "Reminiscing", with his vibraphone-augmented final group, the Orch-tette, Gryce withdrew from jazz almost completely.
