This review is from: Dizzy Atmosphere (Audio CD)

In writing first-time reviews of Original Jazz Classics CDs that are sadly going out-of-print, I was suprised to discover that "Dizzy Atmosphere" had yet to be reviewed on Amazon. First, let's get the record straight about this disc -- this is not a Lee Morgan album. This February 18, 1957 session was cut in Hollywood by seven members of Dizzy Gillespie's orchestra during a tour stop. Among the players was a promising 19-year old trumpeter named, you guessed it, Lee Morgan, but at the time trombonist Al Grey and tenor saxman Billy Mitchell had the biggest names, so they actually have top billing on the album cover. Also participating are baritone saxophonist Billy Root, pianist Wynton Kelly (the other player now recognized on the CD spine as "co-leader"), bassist Paul West, drummer Charlie Persip, and in arranging roles, Benny Golson and Roger Spotts. The septet tackles eight tunes -- five by Spotts, two standards and Golson's now famous "Whisper Not" -- and the CD features three alternate takes that were not on the original Specialty LP. "Atmosphere" is a solid date that fans of Lee Morgan and/or Dizzy won't want to miss.
