Dizzy for President

Tienda Along with Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk, trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie was an important architect of the bebop revolution of the mid-1940s. Gillespie's ability to relate that complex musical style to the masses made him a well-loved worldwide figure. This live date from the Monterey Jazz Festival in 1963 offers ample aural evidence of prowess and popularity. Backed by his longtime partner, tenor/alto saxophonist and flutist James Moody, drummer Rudy Collins, bassist Chris White, and a young Kenny Barron on piano, Gillespie's upturned trumpet unleashes his patented stratospheric solos on old standards like "Dizzy Atmosphere" and "Gee, Baby, Ain't I Been Good to You." Moody reprises his famous sax solo on "I'm in the Mood for Love"; "The Cup Bearers," by Tom McIntosh, is a pleasing neo-bop number; and "Desafinado" and "No More Blues"--two popular bossa novas by Antonio Carlos Jobim--swing with a lovely Latin lilt. The high points of this set are Gillespie's comedic references to black pride and Malcolm X on Luiz Bonfa's "Morning of the Carnival" and Jon Hendricks's lyrics to Gillespie's bop classic, "Vote Dizzy (Salt Peanuts)," the official theme song of Dizzy Gillespie's 1964 "Presidential campaign." --Eugene Holley Jr.
