Dizzy GILLESPIE - Dizzy Gillespie At Newport 1957


Dizzy GILLESPIE - Dizzy Gillespie At Newport 1957

Jazz

Justifiably considered one of the best of Dizzy Gillespie's many live sets, AT NEWPORT captures a dead-on 1957 performance featuring Gillespie and one of his best bands, starring baritone saxophonist Pee Wee Moore, tenor Benny Golson, and pianist ...    Full DescriptionWynton Kelly. Road-tightened by months of world tours sponsored by the US State Department's cultural exchange program, the ensemble is flawless, but not at all mechanical. The goofy humor of comic standards like "School Days" and "Doodlin'" is an old jazz standby that only Gillespie truly continued into the post-bop years. However, on Latin-flavored standards like a scorching version of "Manteca" and "Cool Breeze," Gillespie and band show that their chops are as sharp as anyone's.
