Jazz
Recorded: Washington, D.C. (03/13/1955)
Dizzy Gillespie (vocals, trumpet); Mike Goldberg (alto saxophone); Jim Parker, Angelo Tompros, Spencer Sinatra, Joel Davie (tenor saxophone); Al Porcino, Marky Markowitz, Ed Leddy, Bob Carey, Chas Frankhauser, Bunny Aldhizer (trumpet); Earl Swope, Bob Swope, Dick Leith (trombone); Ed Dimond (piano, percussion); Larry Eanet (piano); Mert Oliver (double bass); Joe Timer (drums)
Originally released by Elektra in 1983, this magnificent concert caught on tape is a fine example of the trumpet mastery that Dizzy Gillespie possessed. Backed by a local Washington D.C. orchestra that is more than complimentary to the jazz legend, Gillespie shines in both his trumpet soloing and vocals. This is a true live gem of one of the great jazz trumpeters of all time. |
