Dizzy Gillespie Live in '58 and '70
Two historic concerts are featured on this DVD from one of the founding fathers of bebop. Filmed 12 years apart, the 1958 concert features Dizzy working eloquently within the small combo structure of a quintet included with such influential musicians as sax player Sonny Stitt and bassist Ray Brown. The second show focuses on a completely different side of Dizzy, fronting the legendary Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band. With a 16-piece big band to lead, including two drummers, his Latin influences are revealed on Con Alma and Manteca. 85 Minutes.
