Gigi Gryce solos here, and he solos on another tune from this session, The Emperor. But The Emperor is not posted on YT, is it? Of the seven Tentet numbers - recorded over three sessions - Gryce solos only on these two. :I:
Composer Wal Waldron also arranged his Vibrations for the Tentet. Recorded in New York on 17 JAN 1956. Released orig. as The Teddy Charles Tentet, ATLANTIC 1229.
Peter Urban? Really it's Art Farmer: he was under contract elsewhere.
When in NYC, in college, in the late 1950's, this record first knocked me out. It still sounds fresh and rare, unique, showing some of jazz's best minds. Dig Monterose in the last minute -- the swingingest saxist nobody ever heard of! One of the most underrated bebop records ever made. I am still carrying my original copy with me, but thanks for putting it up for public edification!
