In 1951 he visited England with Joe Harriott as part of the “Jamaica All Stars”. Two years later he moved to Paris, where he spent the better part of a decade as a sideman in various orchestras and at jam sessions.
His greatest triumph would come in 1963, when he organized and led his own Big Band. It had verve and spirit, reflecting a leader able to get the best of his men. His fame grew rapidly despite the continuous personnel turnover, and the band generally swung effectively, aided by a diversified book, vibrant soloists, the ensemble’s all-embracing warmth and the general sense of good feeling it conveyed.
In November 1967, Grey received an invitation to play at the II Festival Internacional de Jazz de Barcelona, where his full-strength band delivered a fervent performance —before an enthusiastic audience—in the only album they ever recorded. In addition, this CD includes some previously unreleased recordings from a concert a year later in Aix en Provence.
In these recordings Sonny Grey’s big band shows the vitality and wild, joyous abandon of all the best American orchestras, with its leader conducting and soloing with effervescent intensity throughout.
