An early LP on Savoy that gathers Dizzy Gillespie's small-group
recordings from 1951-52, The Champ has a lot to recommend it -- songs,
sidemen, and performances. With just one exception, each of the
selections are drawn from quintet or sextet dates, boasting work by Art
Blakey, Milt Jackson, J.J. Johnson, Percy Heath, and Stuff Smith in
addition to an early appearance from John Coltrane (he made his debut
with Diz, though not here). On the title track, a six-minute jam
released as a two-part single, Gillespie plays furiously and tenor Budd
Johnson contributes a great squawking solo. "Birk's Works," one of
Dizzy's finest compositions, gets its first commercial recording, while
Stuff Smith's violin solo gives "Caravan" exactly the exotic touch it
needs to lift it above competing versions. Diz and Joe Carroll trade
vocals on "On the Sunny Side of the Street," and bop culture meets
gospel for "Swing Low, Sweet Cadillac." John Bush
