An Inspirational Wonderful Read,
By Monique Ngozi Nri (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rat Race Blues: The Musical Life of Gigi Gryce (Paperback)
Rat Race Blues is a real find. This account of the life of Gigi Gryce was an inspiration to me. We read it in our library book club for January 2003, where it was a great hit with all our members.I would recommend it to anyone who is curious about life and/ or music and particularly to young people, struggling against the odds of poverty and racism. The book rediscovers Gigi Gryce, a name that appears on the records of numerous famous Jazz musicians,Cifford Brown, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Max Roach, Thelonius Monk, Donald Byrd, Art Farmer.... to name only a few.

3C's:Comprehensive,Compelling & Cool!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Rat Race Blues: The Musical Life of Gigi Gryce (Paperback)
This book is the most complete discography you will ever find about the jazz great, GiGi Gryce. It is well-written and a very fascinating history of jazz, itself, revealing many "insider" type anecdotes about the old days in jazz history. There are many interviews with famous jazz greats but best of all, the story of a very talented and enigmatic gentleman, Mr. GiGi GryceKudos to to Cohen and Fitzgerald for a Class A book destined to become a textbook reference on this period in jazz history.
