Satellite – Gigi Gryce

A classic, complex Gigi original that is more than just a song! There are two separate solo sections in different keys, as well as a metrically tricky out head. Three different recordings are featured, with solos from all, plus Minus You audio from jazzleadsheets.com's own version.

Gigi Gryce

November 28, 1925 – March 17, 1983

Gigi Gryce was a fine altoist in the 1950s, but it was his writing skills, both composing and arranging (including composing the standard Minority) that were considered most notable.
