5.0 out of 5 stars A priceless souvenir of one of our bona fide legends!, July 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Night [VHS] (VHS Tape)

JazzTimes video editor Chuck Berg called this extraordinary concert, recorded in Chicago's intimate Jazz Showcase, "a priceless souvenir of one of our bona fide legends." In one of his final performances, Dizzy plays, scats, dances and jokes his way through such gems as "Round Midnight" and "Swing Low, Sweet Cadillac."

Yawn.

Just another performance of Dizzy in a club with nothing special to rave about. If you like Dizzy and are looking for another addition to your collection then, ok buy it. If not, you are not really missing anything.
