Dizzy Gillespie: Career 1937-1992
by David Rickert
Even people who don't listen to jazz know who Dizzy Gillespie is. His black beret and cock-eyed trumpet were a familiar image of cool to a generation of hipsters who grew up idolizing the jazzbo lifestyle. And of course, along with Charlie Parker and others who gathered at Minton's, he helped shape the direction that jazz ...
Dizzy Gillespie via Harvey Limburger: Good Spirits: Harvey Limburger Plays New Music from Dizzy Gillespie
by Eric J. Iannelli
The posthumous album is nothing new to jazz--indeed, half of Coltrane's colossal discography was released after his death--but this album is, to my recollection, the first to be recorded from beyond the grave. It features eight new tracks, all ostensibly written by Dizzy Gillespie and, in a weirdly metaphysical sense, performed by him too, using previously ...
Dizzy Gillespie: Salt Peanuts
by Terrell Kent Holmes
Ted Williams could go one for four. Maria Callas wasn't always in perfect voice. Words sometimes failed Hemingway. Even legends have normal days. Salt Peanuts is a recently discovered recording of a Dizzy Gillespie concert date in Montréal in 1981 and although his playing was still strong, it frankly isn't one of his better moments.

Dizzy Gillespie: The Winter in Lisbon

Never released in the US, the film shows the jazz legend in the role of a famous jazz musician. The compositions are by Gillespie and executive producer Charles Fishman, along with ...
Dizzy Gillespie: Salt Peanuts
by Trevor MacLaren
Salt Peanuts is a Dizzy Gillespie show recorded in July 1981 at The Rising Sun Celebrity Jazz Club in Montreal. Though Dizzy's work from the '70s on is patchy at best, this show is a real killer. It seemed Gillespie and his crew were really into a groove while hanging out in Canada's jazz Mecca. The ...
Dizzy Gillespie: Salt Peanuts
by Jim Santella
Dizzy Gillespie, the remarkable trumpeter who helped pioneer bebop in the 1940s with his magnetic presence, was 64 when these recordings were captured at The Rising Sun Celebrity Jazz Club in Montreal. While not his best work, these intimate July 1981 sessions manage to capture the lovable artist at work, passing the mainstream jazz torch on ...
