Jazz for aficionados
I can't imagine that there are any recordings by Herbie NOT available on CD. I can't speak to which are the best sounding CDs as I have most of his early ones on LP. However, some of my favorites music-wise and that any fan should own are (you already have two of the best): "Takin Off" "Speak Like A Child" "Headhunters" "Gershwin' World" "The New Standard" |
Dizzy Gilespie had a very long and interesting career in jazz, and not for one single moment did he lose me in regard to the music he was playing. I think it would be interesting to compare Miles and Diz; what do you guys say? Miles Dewey Davis III (May 26, 1926 – September 28, 1991) was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, and composer. He is among the most influential and acclaimed figures in the history of jazz and 20th century music. Davis adopted a variety of musical directions in his five-decade career which kept him at t John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie (/ɡᵻˈlɛspi/; October 21, 1917 – January 6, 1993) was an American jazz trumpeter, bandleader, composer, and singer.[1] AllMusic's Scott Yanow wrote, "Dizzy Gillespie's contributions to jazz were huge. One of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time, Gillespie was such a complex player that his contemporaries ended up copying Miles Davis and Fats Navarro instead, and it was not until Jon Faddis's emergence in the 1970s that Dizzy's style was successfully recreated [....] Arguably Gillespie is remembered, by both critics and fans alike, as one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time. I think we could learn a lot through this exercise; especially since we have a resident musician; what do you say? |
By the time this album was recorded,in 1980. they all have passed their prime, but none the less, its a still a nice record to hear and have.
