Believe it or not, DIZZY'S PARTY is a funk/dance recording--this is Dizzy Gillespie stretching into unexpected territory. Produced by Norman Granz, a pioneer in jazz crossover projects, the funk is thick and nothing is taken too seriously. James Brown would enjoy this effort. The tracks are long and exploratory save for "Harlem Samba," which is short but furious. Dizzy plays like he's having a hell of a good time and his spirit infects the other players. This is be-bop meets Shaft on a conga line.
