Dizzy Gillespie & The Double Six of Paris

構成数 : 1枚
合計収録時間 : 00:00:00
Personnel: Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet, vocals), Mimi Perrin, Claudine Barge, Christiane Legrand, Ward Swingle, Robert Smart, Jean-Claude Briodin, Eddy Louiss (vocals), James Moody (tenor saxophone), Kenny Barron, Bud Powell (piano), Chris White, Pierre Michelot (bass), Rudy Collins, Kenny Clarke (drums). Recorded in Paris on July 8, 1963 and in Chicago on September 20, 1963 except for vocals which were dubbed in at another date. Arranged by Lalo Schiffrin. This odd but successful pairing finds the Double Six of Paris singing vocalese in French to a dozen bebop classics associated with Dizzy Gillespie. Gillespie, with pianist Bud Powell and a rhythm section, take solos that uplift this date; two songs feature his quintet (with James Moody on alto). Not for all tastes, but this is a unique and colorful addition to Gillespie's discography. ~ Scott Yanow
