On the ecstasy and delicacy of Diz in the 1950s
Really enjoyed reading this - Dizzy is a favorite for sure. Thank you!
Thanks for reading and for the kind words - appreciate it!
Great piece! Do you know this release that has the Sonny Side Up recordings and more? Still can find it around for a good price: https://www.discogs.com/release/27620976-Dizzy-Gillespie-The-Sonny-RollinsSonny-Stitt-Sessions
I do and kick myself that I did not pick up a CD of Gillespie's other recording with Stitt or Rollins from around the same time. One day, I'll add them to my collection (I haven't heard any of it other than 'Con Alma' a long time ago).
