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.

a, b performed as medley.

These are recordings of jam sessions, some tracks of which (those with timings) 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 collective, somewhat speculative and incomplete. There is another unidentified trumpet player present on some tracks. Tracks a and b are not really a medley but rather a merging of the two melody lines. Many titles are fragmentary and the sound quality varies. Gryce is the pianist on the two piano solos.

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."

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.

Gigi Gryce solos on all three tracks.

Whitey Mitchell (b) on d; Oscar Pettiford (b) on a-c, e-h.

The saxophone section personnel are unconfirmed as to the presence of Golson or Monterose (but probably not both). The track called Seventh Heaven has no relation to Minor Seventh Heaven (see session of August 12, 1955 above). Coover Gazdar's Oscar Pettiford discography divides this material between two dates but this is unconfirmed. On Perdido, the bassist behind Pettiford's cello solo is probably Whitey Mitchell. Gigi Gryce solos on tracks b, f and g.

While unconfirmed, it is likely that Gryce was present in the studio to direct his arrangements. Some sources indicate that But Beautiful was recorded on May 21, 1957 but this seems unlikely.

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. Gigi Gryce solos on Blues For Tomorrow.

Photos confirm that Gryce was present in the studio for these sessions. The Rich and Roach quintets were recorded on separate channels. The first track of the session was Liza (All the Clouds'll Roll Away) but it was never issued and no tape survives. The original LP issue edits out the bass introduction to Big Foot. Mercury CD 826 987-2 mislabels master and alternative takes for Limehouse Blues and The Casbah. These are labeled correctly in the Mosaic boxed set. A drum duet, Figure Eights, was released on the original LP and subsequent reissues. Its matrix no. (JB503-1) indicates it was recorded shortly after this session, probably on 4/10/59 at the end of a Buddy Rich big band session. Therefore, it is not included here.

This is a Gryce demo LP held at the Rutgers Institute of Jazz Studies. The source of the disc is the estate of Willard Alexander. The recording date is unknown but probably in 1960, prior to both the New Jazz and Mercury sessions. The pianist is assumed to be Wyands but the bassist and drummer could be any of a number of musicians who worked with Gryce during this period.

The exact recording date is unknown. The identities of the bassist and drummer shown are likely but unconfirmed.
