Free Music Notes for Town Hall, New York City, June 22, 1945
Free Music Review: Outstanding
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD provides both great music and a look into bebop as it was beginning to make its mark on the American musical scene. In addition to Dizzy and Bird, the musicians include Al Haig, Curly Russell, Max Roach, Big Sid Catlett (on two tracks), and Don Byas (on one track). The sound has been very nicely cleaned up with digital technology, the tunes (four written or co-written by Dizzy) are excellent, and the playing is superb. The photographs, most taken very close in time to the performance, are a nice bonus.
Highly recommended for both its historical importance and the quality of the music.

Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker first became aware of each other in 1940 when the former was playing in Cab Calloway's band and the latter with Jay McShann. Two years later they were both living in New York City and a real friendship developed. By 1945 they were recording and gigging together, culminating in this Town Hall concert on June 22, 1945. These recordings languished for sixty years as acetates that weren't even known to exist in their entirety. That this set captures these two formidable players in their ascendancy and with such clarity is a staggering find. Here, with host Symphony Sid announcing the songs (this would have been for his radio show, but apparently never ended up in his possessions), an important chapter in American music is now restored. By the end of the summer of '45 Gillespie and Parker went their separate ways, both emerging with their own bands and reaching new heights of commercial success. --David Greenberger
