Reminiscin'

Reminiscin' is an album by saxophonist Gigi Gryce recorded in 1960 for the Mercury label.

Reception

The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer, Ira Gitler, concluded: "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". AllMusic reviewer Ron Wynn awarded the album 3 stars stating: "This is alternately reflective, dashing, and sentimental."
