Gigi Gryce • A Night in Tunisia

 

Review from DownBeat (by Ira Gitler):
Gryce has achieved a balance between the blowing and arranged sections. The latter set off the former, investing the soloists' spots with greater interest and making the album a success.
[DownBeat, 1961]

Reseña de DownBeat (por Ira Gitler):
Gryce ha logrado un equilibrio entre las secciones de improvisación y las arregladas. Estas últimas realzan a las primeras, invirtiendo los momentos solistas con mayor interés y convirtiendo el álbum en un éxito.
