The other five tracks were recorded in 1956 but remained unissued until this compilation, which Columbia Records released in 1980. Gigi Gryce (born George General Grice, Jr. November 28, 1925 in Pensacola, Florida — March 14, 1983 in Pensacola, Florida) was an American saxophonist, flutist, clarinetist, composer, arranger, educator, and big band bandleader.
