A Not Too Obvious Collection
Gigi Gryce (1927-1983) nasceu na Flórida e dedicou-se ao saxofone alto. Mudou-se para New York onde tocou com Max Roach, Tadd Dameron e Clifford Brown. No início dos anos 50 veio para a Europa com Lionel Hampton e depois tocou com Thelonious Monk, Oscar Pettiford e Donal Byrd. A partir dos anos 60 abandonou a carreira como executante e dedicou-se ao ensino e à composição, sendo de sua autoria alguns dos mais famosos temas do jazz. Aqui toca standards em quatro sessões. Nos seus primórdios e no final da sua curta carreira. jazzmin
