- Here in 1968 we see Dizzy leading his big band and playing a magnificent trumpet solo. There are also solos by pianist Mike Longo and tenor saxophonist Paul Jeffrey.
Dizzy, his band and the arrangements certainly make this into a totally original and fresh sound.
"Dizzy" Gillespie (1917 -- 1993) He was an African-American, Bahá'í jazz trumpeter, bandleader, singer, and composer. Gillespie, with Charlie Parker, was a major figure in the development of bebop and modern jazz.
In addition to featuring in these epochal moments in jazz, he was instrumental in founding Afro-Cuban jazz, the modern jazz version of the "Spanish Tinge". Gillespie was a trumpet virtuoso and gifted improviser, building on the virtuoso style of Roy Eldridge but adding layers of harmonic complexity previously unknown in jazz. In addition to his instrumental skills, Dizzy's beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, his scat singing, his bent horn and pouched cheeks, and his light-hearted personality were essential in popularizing bebop, which was originally regarded as threatening and frightening music by many listeners raised on older styles of jazz. He had an enormous impact on virtually every subsequent trumpeter, both by the example of his playing and as a mentor to younger musicians.
He also used a trumpet whose bell was bent at a 45 degree angle rather than a traditional straight trumpet. This was originally the result of accidental damage, but the constriction caused by the bending altered the tone of the instrument, and Gillespie liked the effect.
Vitin Paz on Trumpet....From Panamá...RIP ...
YESSSSSS!!!
this is so mindblowing
it is the drive , the sense of urgency - of purpose - I don't know what I am talking - I just love it
that's that talk
Damn!
Victor Paz on lead 🎺
that trumpet player was killing it
Gillespie
Wonderful Gillespie and his band
dude im playing this for essentially ellington, the vibe solo is completely insane
WOW Paul Jeffrey was a mad man on that sax... This whole piece was phenomenal.
My favorite version. I like the tempo, fast enough but not too fast so that one can concentrate on the melodies, instead of speed as "an effect."
Increible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
extended the minor theme of "bepop" to ludicrously intricate levels and proved that a big band could handle the new music.
So amazing!
playing this in jazz band... its insane :D
Dizzy at his best.
AWESOME!
I like Mike .....!...The crew is outstanding !!!!!!..Wonderful playing !!!!!!.
my high school's screw this piece up so bad..
My high school band just got this piece. It was ugly at first, but this program has played it before a couple years back. I'm very excited to play this piece. And of course this recording is amazing. Also check out Tucson Jazz Institute's version of the piece at Essentially Ellington 2015!
This is an adult swim. This piece is way beyond the scope of a high school band. The teacher should have been rebuked for presenting them with it.
Tommy Black seriously lmao this shit rated R
Bwaahaha!
Tommy Black essentially ellington
I know this tune is a suicide mission
I Agree I like Paul Jeffery
Love the hits 5:05 5:09 5:25
Dizzy......
Dizzy Gillespie plays the trumpet better than Chuck Norris.
Maybe he took that tight solo just when i was born.
Thanks for the upload.
This is an excellent version of this piece, MUCH better than the 1946 original - for which they used at least one microphone.
Diz was an American, not an "African American". I lived in Africa for five years, and have visited 6 countries in Africa. Africans and Americans are way different, and so is their music.
Yo this sounds like a ballad compared to the Carnegie Hall version I’ve listened to
Why is my jazz band trying to do this?
badass.......lol.
Does anybody know who was in the trumpet section and the rest of the band?

Composed by John Berks "Dizzy" Gillespie and Arranged by Walter "Gil" Fuller (who composed "Manteca" along with Gillespie)
Chano Pozo was Dizzy's co-writer on Manteca.
Birks.
Based on the changes of the tune Bebop
3:05--"Ladies and Gentlemen, *Eddie Murphy* on bass!"
You're a fucking idiot.
My life changed in 3:23
it sounds way better at this tempo, some bands played it waaaayyyy to fast and it didnt sound good/they were sloppy
Who's on bass?
Probably Chris White. He was in Diz's quintet for years in the 60s.
Jennifer Pollard ...Paul West.
*******
You can not seriously compare THIS to "playing in Jazz band". If you really think it's "just fast" you have no clue, what-so-ever, about Musicianship.
"whatsover". spelling -2 pts
You misspelled bebop its not bobop. Bebop = the genrea of music you will get 2x the views atleast if you correct it
Work on U bone brother...
Playing this in jazz band, not as hard as everyone makes out, its just fast
The true story. Dizzy blew a high note in a jazz club. That annoyed a gangster who gave Dizzy Gillespie $1000 and then bend his trumpet. It was on purpose.
Could I get some sort of source on that? Sounds wild!
looks like that gangster went around bending saxophone neck too.
Although its 3 years later your story is still bullshit
That is a lie. The story of the bent trumpet is well-known.
@Drake Colley ...Correct!!!
