This review is from: Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All-Stars (Audio CD)

This cd is great. Jon Faddis is screeching some incredibley high notes, and his band is tight. His scating is pretty good as well. Antonio Hart, who's heard of him? He blew me away. He also is on Ernest Ranglin's Gotcha! cd which is also great. The band is tight, and this is uncomparable to even Dizzy's band. In Night In Tunisia, the saxophonist (Antonio Hart) and the trumpeter (Jon Faddis) trade solos for two minutes, and it is probably the greatest trading of solos I've ever heard. Below is a cd I recommend:
1. Gotcha! (Ernest Ranglin) The cd is great, however it is a little bit of reggae. You might want to check it out yourself and listen to some of the tracks before you just buy it. It is all dependent on your musical taste.
