Review
An extra special anthology of one of the most prominent figures in the history of jazz, Dizzy Gillespie!
Special guest appearance by legend Charlie Bird Parker on three astounding tracks - Groovin High, Dizzy Atmosphere and All The Things You Are!
Gillespie is remembered for his brilliant, effortless playing as well as his use of Afro-Cuban rhythms, which spawned its very own sub-genre of jazz!
A great anthology at a great price!
Dizzy Gillespies is one of the most prominent figures in the history of jazz, remembered for brilliant, effortless playing, shining performances and masterful recordings. He is also remembered as a teacher who passed his knowledge on to many future jazz greats, including the inimitable Charlie Bird Parker, as well as injecting his music with complex Latin rhythms to create a sound later known as Afro-Cuban jazz. Focusing primarily on the years 1945 and 1946, Anthology represents Gillespie s most creatively adventurous period, a time of groundbreaking collaborations with Parker, who appears on the first three tracks of this compilation, when this new jazz was still quite foreign to the world of big bands. Though his name is now synonymous with jazz and all that it embodies, this compilation reminds us that Gillespie s extraordinary vision and pioneering spirit thrust him far ahead of his time...and into the vaunted halls of jazz legends! --Cleopatra Records
