One of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time, Dizzy Gillespie dazzled the world with his talent as one of the pioneers of be-bop and Latin jazz, but with his puffed-out cheeks, bent trumpet and quick wit, he also was a great showman. Here he demonstrates his dazzling style as he bops, scats, croons and dances his way through a collection of his music, including “The Truth,” “A Night in Tunisia” and “Dizzy’s Blues.” Dizzy Gillespie (Trumpet, Vocals), Ed Cherry (Guitar), Michael Howell (Bass), Thomas Campbell (Drums).
