Dizzy Gillespie When Be-Bop Was King (CD) (UK IMPORT)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: When Be-Bop Was KingCondition: NewFormat: CDDescription: Although there have been very many jazz packages released featuring the Legends in this series, surprisingly they have rarely been presented as the Kings of the free form music they created. Relatively little attention or marketing has been directed at the fact that people such as Thelonius Monk, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown and Dizzy Gillespie truly were the Kings of BeBop! In this beautifully packaged 6 page digipak, we deliver 2 CDs featuring the simply magnificent jazz that these heroes of their era produced during the unique years of BeBop. True to the requirements of the jazz aficionado the liner notes include the city and date of the recording as well as all the musicians who took part in the session. DIZZY GILLESPIE COMPILATION NOTES: The very first date regarded as a bebop recording session was for Coleman Hawkins on February 16, 1944, wanting to play the music that he heard, he decided to get in some of the cats that are playing it. The recognised spokesman for bebop was Dizzy Gillespie, and Woody For You was improvised there and then on that recording date. Dizzys musical partnership with Charlie Parker was the bedrock of the bebop scene, and is well represented, and when presented with choices of a track recorded at different times with different line ups, this compilation has leaned towards recordings including Diz and Bird. Indeed two significant recording dates are given in full firstly the concert at Carnegie Hall on September 29th, 1947 (billed as Dizzy And His Orchestra and Ella Fitzgerald), which overnight made bebop a respectable musical form and June 6th, 1950 when bebop was all but dead, Norman Granz reunited Dizzy and Bird for their final recording date together. Like Parker, indeed pre-Parker, Gillespie recorded with strings. Whilst his solos bring a bebop element to the recordings, we have not included any tracks, as it was judged that there were better examples of true bebop. Tracks; Disc 1. 1. Woody N You / 2.
