The record
Gigi Gryce doubles alto and flute, and Tal Farlow's guitar takes the chair a second horn might have -- it gives the front line air, with Horace Silver, Percy Heath and Walter Bolden underneath Howard McGhee's trumpet. A Blue Note ten-inch from 1953, BLP 5024, jacket credited to John Hermansader. Titles like 'Shabozz' and 'Ittapnna' promise more than a standards session.
