5.0 out of 5 stars
great band!,
By jjn (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dedicated To Diz: Slide Hampton & The Jazz Masters (Audio CD)
Dizzy was a true master. He has spread his mastery onto countless numbers of people including all who are on this great cd. Jon Faddis is an extreme player. He plays high, low, loud, soft, fast, slow, furious, and beautiful. His highnotes are very controlled and have a great tone. The big disappointment of the cd is the fact that Slide Hampton does not solo. He arranges many of the songs and plays in the band, but has no improvisation. Steve Turre does take a couple of nice trombone solos.The arrangements by Slide are some of the best ever. Lush full orchestration with unique colors being used together. Roy Hargrove also plays in the band, as well as Lewis Nash, and Jimmy Heath. With them and other well known players, the band is truly an all star assembledge. All great Gillespie tunes made for a bebop big band(3sax,3tbone,3trpt,rhythm section). Worth twice as much as the asking price.

This album is one of the best live jazz records I've ever heard. I'd lost it years ago and just picked it up again and I've been unable to put it down. The new arrangements of Diz's best are nothing short of incredible (see "A Night In Tunisia". I'd like to see if someone can find a better horn section (Faddis, Hampton, Hardgrove, the list goes on and on). This is a must have for any jazz fan.

I'd been looking for this album for 4 years!!!,
By L. D. "Trompeta Mareado" (Golden, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dedicated To Diz: Slide Hampton & The Jazz Masters (Audio CD)
I first got a recording of this CD without knowing who was playing in it or what it was called. It is a great CD, with extreme talent living within each song. I've been searching for years to find this album, and I finally found it!
John Faddis is an awesome trumpet screamer -- one of the best. As a trumpet player, this CD is candy to my ears. Buy..........the..........CD!!! Everyone needs to hear Jazz Masters at work.
