THE GROOVE YARD 112 – SOCIAL CALL

               George Klein presents an hour of music by the neglected alto saxophonist Gigi Gryce, who was active in the 1950s but then dropped out of the jazz scene. This hour features sessions as a leader and with Thelonious Monk, plus the Jazz Lab Quintet with Donald Byrd.
