Jazz Dispute – Personified

Posted on April 7, 2007 by Gandalfe

I’ve been talking to Gary, the trumpet player, about playing solo instruments against each other as a conversation. Here is finally a very nice presentation of just such a conversation.

I was astonished at the memory of this guy, tagging and timing the transition so perfectly. I’m betting he is a musician. And no, it’ not because of the hat.  ;o)

This is a  heated debate between Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie captured on the recording "Leap Frog" from the ‘Bird and Diz‘ CD that was done in ’97 from a 1950’s taping.

People who bought this CD also bought/own:

  • Diz ‘N Bird at Carnegie Hall ~ Dizzy Gillespie
  • Somethin’ Else ~ Cannonball Adderley
  • Moanin’ ~ Art Blakey
  • Town Hall, New York City, June 22, 1945 ~ Dizzy Gillespie
  • Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall ~ Thelonious Monk
  • Study in Brown ~ Clifford Brown
  • Complete Jazz at Massey Hall ~ Charlie Parker
  • Kind of Blue ~ Miles Davis

    • Enjoy!
