5.0 out of 5 stars First & Favorite of Dizzy Gillespie, August 19, 2001
This review is from: Ultimate Dizzy Gillespie (Audio CD)
This was the first CD I owned of Dizzy Gillespie, and still remains one of my all-time favorites! It'd definitely be on my 10 cds to take with me to a desert island. Roy Hargrove has some very insightful comments on the 'joy' in Dizzy's music, and reflecting on that I couldn't agree more. Diz's work is upbeat and energetic throughout, and his ballads have that essence of catharsis to them that I love. Being a Jazz Trumpeter I cnanot help but be in awe of Diz all throughout and simply mark this album as one of my all-time favorites. (To the track 'Ool-Ya-Koo': Damn! I wish I could do that!)

5.0 out of 5 stars Introduction to Diz, July 19, 2006
This review is from: Ultimate Dizzy Gillespie (Audio CD)
Excellent introduction to various facets of Dizzy's work - be-bop, latin jazz, big bands, small groups, colaboration with Parker, Eldridge and others, playing, (jocular) singing...

Hargrove's accompanying notes are not very informative but his sellection is excellent.

Have cd will excite.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great Dizzy, June 13, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Ultimate Dizzy Gillespie (Audio CD)
This CD is exactly what you would expect from the Ultimate series. A great recording and a bunch of good tracks. However, I only gave it 3 stars because I am not as fond of his later Be-bop work. It is definately a good addition.
