This is one of those recordings that, in a few minutes, always change my mood to positive. Same happens with Lester Young Aladdin recordings, the Webster-Blanton Duke Ellington recordings, Louis Armstrong's Hot 5s and 7s, the Fats Navarro-Tadd Dameron sides, some of the grooviest 50s Blue Notes, Old Testament Basie with Jimmie Rushing vocals, the Armstrong-Ella Fitzgerald discs... and a few more. Not that these are the best recordings ever -some of them definitely are- but just talking about positive effect on my mood...

I might start a thread on this...

Kurt Elling "Live in Chicago" Blue Note cd

Man I love this! I wish I had the disc of out takes.

I found a copy of this along with another Sanabria big band disc 2 years ago at a library sale.  I liked the other disc and am finally getting around to this.

Joe's last BFT put me on the trail of this delightfully natural music. Prices are all over the place, apparently, no idea why, but I found a good deal, and so can you!

I'm enjoying exploring The Heliocentrics. Incorporates modern elements I like and nods back to past forms I enjoy.

Mal Waldron and John Hicks.  Two musical heroes.

It was this quartet I saw live when I first heard Dizzy in my teens. Great quartet with Rodney Jones, the legendary Benjamin Franklin Brown on el-b, and the great Mickey Roker on drums. On the second CD Leo Wright is added to the regular quartet. 

I saw Dizzy some years later again with a quartet consisting of Ed Cherry, Mike Howell and veterane drummer J.C. Heard. 

The next time it was a Dizzy Allstars quintet with Harold Land, George Cables, Herbie Lewis and Louis Hayes.

And the last time was in 1987 a special 70´s birthyday Big Band......

So many memories of great Dizzy performances.

My last listen to this was before I was bitten by the Konitz bug.

My history of seeing Dizzy stretched from 1959 when I saw him with his Have Trumpet Will Excite quintet of Les Spann, Junior Mance, Sam Jones and Lex Humphries at the St George's Hall, Bradford UK via the Giants of Jazz tour with Stitt, Winding, Monk, McKibbon and Blakey which I saw at the Dominion Theatre, Tottenham Court Road, London to the United Nations Orchestra with Paquito D'Rivera, Claudio Roditi, Arturo Sandoval and others which I saw at the Odeon Cinema, Manchester in 1991.
