Complete your Don Byrd - Gigi Gryce collection.

New Formulas from the Jazz Lab is an album by American jazz saxophonist Gigi Gryce and trumpeter Donald Byrd featuring tracks recorded in 1957 but not released until 1982 on the French RCA label.

Vol. 2 in the Lone Hill Jazz reissue label's Donald Byrd/Gigi Gryce Jazz Lab Project opens with three tracks that resulted from a planned college concert tour by the Jazz Lab and vocalist Jackie Paris, a native of Nutley, NJ, who also worked with Charlie Parker, Lionel Hampton, and Charles Mingus. Byrd and Gryce chose their rhythm sections most discerningly; the first three tracks were propelled by pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Wendell Marshall, and drummer Art Taylor, while tracks four through 12, which document the music presented as New Formulas from the Jazz Lab, brought in Paul Chambers and Hank Jones to fuel more progressive innovations.
