Dizzy Gillespie – Reunion Big Band

That is a smokin' hot record. IIRC there was a bootleg on some Italian label with the remaining tracks.

Forgot to mention ,,,, :

with members of the CBBB 

P.S

Although issued on Philips in 1967, this could be (mis)taken easily as a MPS/SABA production of that time :

Said Dusko Goykovich platter comes highly recommended ....

I can't stress enough how much I've enjoyed listening to the recommendations above in this thread. A lot of records I didn't know, with, overall, an extremely high quality.

I can tell you that used records bins here are overflowing with at best mediocre releases of glossy MOR-easy listening jazz on both labels. Sadly, these seem to be much easier to find and cheaper than the quality stuff.

oh yeah, that stuff rarely makes it over here or into online listings I'm regularly trawling. 

Can't believe I forgot Globe Unity/Sun, though I guess the FMPs and radio broadcasts have outshined it a bit for me. That said, it IS the orchestra's first!

Great thread. I’m familiar with basically nothing listed. Just listened to the Gunter Hampel Heartplants album (thanks @mjazzg) and now on the Smoke record
