4.0 out of 5 stars Dizzy History, December 8, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Swing Era - Dizzy Gillespie - Jivin' in Be-Bop (DVD)
18 hits by the young Gillespie and his group. Video quality varies (perhaps 5 moments of over-exposure), but is usually very good (considering the age of these videos). Definitely worth the very reasonable price for any Dizzy fans. Dizzy's band has 4 trumpets (plus Dizzy), 4 saxes, 2 trombones, pianist John Lewis, vibraphonist Milt Jackson and bassist Ray Brown. Many numbers feature dancers in various styles (Tap, Swing, Exotic, etc.) and vocalists (notably, Helen Hume). There are a couple of numbers featuring a Hammond Organ/Piano duo. On occasion, the sound is not perfectly synchronized with the video.

All numbers are excerpted from a 1947 film entitled, "Jivin' in Be-Bop". Running time, a little over 50 minutes.
