Gigi is a 1958 jazz album by André Previn, Shelly Manne and Red Mitchell. The full album name is Modern Jazz Performances of Songs from Gigi.
The album was recorded in April 1958. The three musicians were pianist André Previn, bassist Red Mitchell, and drummer Shelly Manne. The material consists of eight songs from the musical Gigi.
The Penguin Guide to Jazz described the album in 1992 as having a "dated charm". The AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow wrote: "Best known among the songs are 'I Remember It Well' and 'Thank Heaven for Little Girls', but the trio also uplifts and swings the other lesser-known tunes."
Original music by Frederick Loewe.
