 Dizzy GillespieはBe-Bopの創始者としてCharly Parkerとともに夙に有名です。Modern Jazzの創始者でもあります。tpのスタイルはRoy Eldridgeの痕跡を後年まで留めていたように思います。晩年はEldridgeとも共演盤をいくつか作りました。
本人はBig Bandをバックにtpを吹いて歌うのが好きだったようで、またtpはbig bandの方が映えた演奏をしています。その点はBenny Goodmanと共通しています。
メンバー表を見ていると後年の有名奏者の若き日の名前を見出すことができます。Don Byas, Milt Jackson, John Lewis, Ray Brown, Kenny Clark, Al McKibbon, James Moody, Ernie Henry, Yusef Lateef, Bill DeArango, Johnny Hartman等です。既存の大物Budd JohnsonやLamar Wrightの参加も目を引きます。編曲はJohn Lewis, Tadd Dameron それにDizzy自身が行っていたようです。
演奏は,Dizzy Gillespieのtpに関する限り一流ですが、ふざけた歌の入ったtrackはちょっといただけません。
