Customer Reviews:
Long Explorative Versions of Classic Tunes.......2000-03-21
I was pleasantly surprised at just how good this CD is. It's fine jazz by any measuring standard - not even taking into account the miracle that Dizzy was 74 years old when this was recorded, and still playing well.
The recordings come from a 3-night "golden jubilee" celebration held for Dizzy in NYC, where he was supported by various musicians. They play great, long, top-notch versions of "Ornithology", "Conformation", and "Night in Tunisia". This works! Great record.
