Hit: 4 Stars
Before the 1945 Town Hall recordings that surfaced in 2005, this was the earliest of the two Dizzy Gillespie/Charlie Parker live recordings. The other is "Jazz At Massey Hall" from 1953. Recorded in 1947, this CD starts with five songs by a quintet with Gillespie and Parker. Playing sure-fire Gillespie and Parker compositions, the first five songs are very good. They are only 4-5 minutes long, so there isn't the longer solos of the Town Hall concert. Gillespie and Parker both sound really good. The sound quality is okay for its time -- the rhythm section sounds distant but front-line horns come right through. After "Koko", it switches to Dizzy's big band. This makes up 48 minutes of the 73 minute CD. The sound quality suffers a bit with the larger ensemble. The bass is louder, but the trumpet section tends to push everyone else to the back. For example, Milt Jackson is playing vibes, but he's inaudible. The songs are mostly Gillespie and Tadd Dameron classics. I prefer the smaller-group versions of these songs, but they're still good, and big band fans will undoubtedly appreciate them more. "Oop-Pop-A-Da" is the sole song with vocals. It's sung for humor and entertainment, as I think all Dizzy's vocals were. The band closes things out with a hectic version of "Things To Come".
If someone could only have one Diz 'n Bird disc, I'd go with the 1945 Town Hall CD. If someone wants more, this is a good one to pick up.
