Gigi Gryce (con) on b; Milton Hayes (v) on d.

At the time of this session, Gigi Gryce was a student at Boston Conservatory. Boston-based vocalist Margie Anderson confirmed in an interview that Gryce was present in the studio to oversee the performance of his composition. The personnel are unconfirmed. Hayes sings on track d and is presumed to be the drummer. He and pianist Anderson were musicians in the Newark, NJ area during this period.

All titles unissued.

a, b  performed as medley

These are recordings of jam sessions, some tracks of which were to be issued on the Zim label. The tapes are in the possession of Art Zimmerman. The mc is Eddie Curran. The personnel are incomplete and collective, presumably over several dates. Another unidentified trumpet player and a tenor saxophonist (Wilber?) are heard on some tracks. Tracks a and b are not really a medley but rather a merging of the two melody lines. Many titles are incomplete and the sound quality varies. Timings shown include announcements and applause.

In addition to the tracks listed, Zimmerman's records indicate the presence of another version of "Perdido," two tracks whose titles are unknown, one track labeled as "Ad Lib" and two untitled piano solos performed by Gryce. None of these have been auditioned by the authors.

Solos:
a/b - Jordan, Wilber, trumpet (?), Gryce, Pettiford (cello), Jordan, Roland

According to the liner notes of the CD, these recordings were made by Clifford Brown and are described as rehearsals of what appears to be part of the Tadd Dameron band of the time. The notes do not reveal the source of either the recordings or the information about them. The tracks are mostly fragments and sound more like a jam session than a formal rehearsal. The personnel, location and date are assumptions based on the recordings the Dameron band made for the Prestige label on June 11, 1953. Aural evidence confirms the presence of Brown, Gryce and Golson. The sound quality is very poor and tracks d and e have a different ambiance than the others suggesting that all the titles were not recorded at the same time. Track e is listed as "Bula-Beige Blues."

Clifford Brown discographer Bob Weir incorrectly lists the studio as Van Gelder. Doug Hawkins is listed as the engineer and he is known to have worked at WOR.


On June 22, 1953, trombonist J.J. Johnson recorded two takes of Gryce's composition "Capri" for Blue Note Records (Jay Jay Johnson, BLP 5028; The Eminent Jay Jay Johnson, Vols. 1 & 2, BLP 1505, 1506). The ensemble was a sextet with Clifford Brown (t), Jimmy Heath (ts, bar), John Lewis (p), Percy Heath (b) and Kenny Clarke (d). It is possible Gryce was present in the studio to direct the recording of his tune but there is no suggestion of this in the original LP liner notes or other sources.

"No Start No End" is a rehearsal for "(Venez Donc) Chez Moi." Many issues of this selection use only an excerpt rather than the complete nearly 8 minute take. Pierre Michelot is sometimes listed as bassist on this session but it is believed that this is erroneous. Two takes of "Serenade To Sonny" composed by Anthony Ortega were recorded at this session but Gryce is not present on those.

The date is definitely earlier than November 24, 25 or 26, 1953 which is as listed in Weir's Clifford Brown discography. The Hampton band departed from Paris on November 24, 1953 for New York (via London and Glasgow). Unknown French musicians from Algiers also participated in this session. This tape is lost and the report is based on an anecdotal report from an eyewitness.

Gryce overdubbed saxophone parts onto the existing rhythm tracks. These four tracks were also issued without the overdubbed alto saxophone, as a play-along, on Signal S 101 and Savoy MG 12145. Track c is called "Jordu." The alternative titles shown have also been used for this melody line. Track d is called "Oh Yeah!". The same blues line was later recorded by its composer, Duke Jordan, using the title "Yes I Will."

The pianist is listed as "Harry Jones" but is most likely Hank Jones. This session was produced by Hugo Winterhalter and contracted by Millard Thomas. RCA SPD-24 is a box of 10 EPs. The recording date, location and personnel listed on the Blue Moon CD are incorrect. Part 1 features a baritone saxophone solo (probably NOT Gryce); part 2, a trombone solo (probably Cleveland).

In late 1956 and early 1957, Art Blakey recorded several of Gryce's compositions with a quintet made up of Bill Hardman (t), Jackie McLean (as), Sam Dockery (p) and Spanky DeBrest (b) as follows:
December 13, 1956, "Nica's Tempo," Drum Suite, CL 1002
February 11, 1957, "Exhibit A," Art Blakey with the Jazz Messengers & Elmo Hope Quintet, Pacific Jazz PJ33
February 11, 1957, "Wake Up," Ritual, Pacific Jazz PJ15
March 8-9, 1957, "Casino," A Midnight Session, Elektra EKL120
April 1957, "Transfiguration" & "Exhibit A," Tough!, Cadet LP4049

It is possible Gryce was present in the studio to direct the recordings of his tunes, but the there is no suggestion of this in the original LP liner notes or other sources.

On February 25, 1957, drummer Art Taylor recorded two of Gryce's (as Lee Sears) compositions, "Exhibit A" and "Batland," with a sextet made up of Donald Byrd (t), Jackie McLean (as), Charlie Rouse (ts), Ray Bryant (p) and Wendell Marshall (b) (Taylor's Wailers, Prestige PRLP 7117). It is possible Gryce was present in the studio to direct the recording of his tune but the there is no suggestion of this in the original LP liner notes or other sources.

Although Jepsen's discography indicates January 13, 1957 for CO56457 and CO56458, other discographies (Bruyninckx, Lord, Raben) indicate that these tracks were recorded on March 13, 1957. The Columbia matrix numbers actually suggest a date in early July 1956 which seems unlikely since Donald Byrd and Gigi Gryce had not teamed up at that point to form the Jazz Lab ensemble. Thanks to George Avakian, we have now confirmed that these two nonet titles were, in fact, recorded on March 13, 1957 along with the quintet version of "Blue Concept." The matrix numbers CO56457 and CO56458 were originally intended for a Horace Silver recording of July 2, 1956 but were never used for that session and finally assigned out of sequence, at the March 13 Jazz Lab recording.

The Lord and Bruyninckx discographies indicate that the trombonist is Benny Powell but the liner notes to Columbia CL 998 indicate Jimmy Cleveland.

Definitive information concerning the Oscar Pettiford Orchestra live radio broadcasts shown below (sessions of May 18, 1957, May 26, 1957, between March and June 1957, May 1957 and probably May 1957) is lacking. Personnel comes from announcements, oral evidence in some cases and Coover Gazdar’s Oscar Pettiford discography. Still, many of the personnel are unidentified. The following is a compilation of artists either known or suggested to have performed or recorded with the Pettiford orchestra in 1956-1957:
Trumpet: Donald Byrd, Ray Copeland, Kenny Dorham, Art Farmer, Ernie Royal, Idrees Sulieman
Trombone: Eddie Bert, Jimmy Cleveland, Al Grey
French horn: David Amram, Jim Buffington, Ed London, Julius Watkins
Alto Saxophone: Gigi Gryce, Gene Quill
Tenor Saxophone: Benny Golson, J.R. Monterose, Jerome Richardson (flute also), Lucky Thompson
Baritone Saxophone: Danny Bank, David Kurtzer, Sahib Shihab
Piano: Hank Jones, Tommy Flanagan, Dick Katz
Second Bass: Paul Chambers, Wendell Marshall, Earl May, Whitey Mitchell, Carl Pruitt
Harp: Betty Glamann, Janet Putnam
Drums: Gus Johnson, Osie Johnson, Shadow Wilson

Specifics regarding dates and personnel are also lacking, but it appears from booking documentation that all of the tracks were most likely broadcast between March and June of 1957. Gazdar’s discography was somewhat helpful but precise dates remain elusive.

Timings shown include announcements and applause. The track called "Seventh Heaven" has no relation to "Minor Seventh Heaven" (see session of August 12, 1955 above). Its composer and arranger are unknown. Coover Gazdar's Oscar Pettiford discography divides this material between two dates. On "Perdido," the bassist behind Pettiford's cello solo is probably Whitey Mitchell. The unknown trombonist may be Al Grey and the unknown baritone saxophonist, Sahib Shihab.

Producer Orrin Keepnews says: "Note that, since virtually all Riverside sessions were held to produce long-play albums, no master numbers were ever assigned to individual selections." This was a troubled session and Monk was unable to continue after the three attempts at "Crepuscule With Nellie." He does not perform on "Blues For Tomorrow." The session continued the next day with much greater productivity.
