Al Grey was an American jazz trombonist, a protégé of Count Basie, and a master of the plunger mute. He was known for his soulful, blues-inflected solos and his distinctive, humorous stage presence. Grey recorded "Grey's Mood" in 1976, a period where he was increasingly sought after as a leader, though he continued his long association with Basie's orchestra.
