Gray, though, had a sound that explicitly bridged bebop and the lazier, patiently poetic swing of Lester Young. This four-disc set pulls together most of the Gray material worth preserving, including a fine 1946 encounter between Gray (who was preoccupied with Young at the time) and the pianistically ingenious but overlooked Dodo Marmarosa. There is also an excellent 1949 group with a young Roy Haynes that produced Twisted, a boppish blues featuring an inspired solo by Gray that was later famously taken up by Annie Ross and Joni Mitchell in vocal interpretations
