DIZZY GILLESPIE – An Electrifying Evening with the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet (1961-1999) Serie Verve Master Edition | WV (image+.cue), lossless

Dizzy Gillespie (along with altoist Leo Wright, pianist Lalo Schfrin, bassist Bob Cunningham, and drummer Chuck Lampkin) were in peak form for this live performance. Their versions of "Kush," "Salt Peanuts," and "The Mooche" are all excellent, but it is "A Night in Tunisia," with its absolutely stunning trumpet break (which lasts half a chorus), that is most memorable.  Scott Yanow
