DUETS and its sister session SONNY SIDE UP are two of the best Dizzy Gillespie small group sessions. DUETS, featuring Gillespie's cooking '50s rhythm section with Ray Bryant on piano, moves easily from race horse tempos to after hours blues. Tenor innovator Sonny Rollins demonstrates his command of both approaches on the boppish "Wheatleigh Hall" and the smoky "Sumphin'." Saxophonist Sonny Stitt, was more in the bebop mainstream than the younger Rollins, and his cutting, Parker-influenced blowing envlivens Gillespie's classic Latin line "Con Alma," the Afro-Cuban tinged blues "Haute Mon'" and the down and dirty "Anythin'." Gillespie is in peak form, moving easily from graceful lyrical lines to down home bluesiness and vivid upper register shouts.   Compilation Appearances Voodoo Complete Cole Porter Songbooks Complete Jazz At The Philharmo Girl From Ipanema-Jobim Songb Complete Gershwin Songbooks Wave-The Antonio Carlos Jobim Jazz Wedding Album Vol. 1-Adventures Of Bread & B Bebop Singers Masters Of Jazz Sampler Talented Mr. Ripley Instrumental History Of Jazz Romantic Jazz Ken Burns Jazz-Story Of America Ken Burns Jazz Ken Burns Jazz Jazz Live From New York Usa All Stars In Berlin 1955 Cool Jazz For Hot Nights / Various Harlem Saturday Night Classic Jazz Jazzlegends Savoy Sampler Savoy At 60 Stardust Collection (Limited Edition) Best Of Jazz Birth Of Be Bop Most Relaxing Jazz Music In The Universe Bop Lives American Splendor Verve Unmixed 2 Nicky's Jazz For Kids Nea Jazz Masters Panorama: trumpet Prism Divine Lady Of Song A-Z Encyclopedia Of Ja696 Jazz Bar Vol 2 This Is The Dirty Doz0405 Big Band Swing Basquiat's Journey Through Jazz Impulsive Complete Verve Remixed (Deluxe Edition) (Bonus Tracks) Re-bop: The Savoy Remixes 20 Best Of Jazz (Dig) Gitanes Jazz: Jazz Bossa Nova Cafe Jazz Simply Jazz Jazz In The City 25 Best:jazz Legends Bossa Friends Bird In Time:1940-1947 Lift Every Voice Honoring The African Everything I Have Is Yours   Associated Artists and Works Artists, Various The Gifted Ones ~ Basie, Count Byas, Don Carter, Benny After Hours ~ Christian, Charlie Cobb, Arnett Eckstine, Billy Eldridge, Roy Jazz Maturity ~ Eldridge, Roy Verve Jazz Masters 25 ~ Getz, Stan Getz, Stan Getz, Stan Dedicated To Diz ~ Hampton, Slide Hidalgo, Giovanni Horn, Shirley Lilian Terry Piano Jazz With Dizzy Gillespie ~ McPartland, Marian The Weapon / At Home and Abroad ~ Newman, David "Fathead" Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Diz 'N Bird At Carnegie Hall ~ Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Parker, Charlie Peterson, Oscar Peterson, Oscar Peterson, Oscar Raeburn, Boyd Roach, Max Stuff Smith/Dizzy Gillespie/Oscar Peterson ~ Smith, Stuff Stuff Smith/Dizzy Gillespie/Oscar Peterson ~ Smith, Stuff (Jazz) Terry, Lilian Torme, Mel The Trumpet Kings Meet Joe Turner ~ Turner, Big Joe Turner, Big Joe Various Artists Various Artists   Technical Info Release Date : 07/25/1988 Original Release Date : 1958 Catalog ID : 835 253 Label : Verve (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Runtime : 60m : 12s Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : AAD UPC : 00042283525320    Product Image
