Grey's Mood


Grey's Mood is an album by trombonist Al Grey recorded in Paris at sessions in 1973 and 1975 and released on the French Black and Blue label in 1979.

Reception

The Allmusic review stated "This excellent set features Al Grey on two sessions in peak form. The trombonist is the lead voice in an octet for four numbers that also feature tenorman Hal Singer, and he joins forces with tenor saxophonist Jimmy Forrest in a quintet also including pianist Tommy Flanagan for three other tunes.... Accessible and swinging music".
