I was so honoured lucky to have breakfasted with Dizzy and then his guest for dinner and the show at Ronnie Scott's in 1973 along with his life long friend, Bermudan actor Earl Cameron and family. Dizzy was a teetotaller after the death of his sidekick saxophonist Charlie Parker from alcoholism. Dizzy was also a great jazz pianist.
Alors là, ma Jade, comme dirait Laurent Gerra, c'est du lourd du très lourd... Un orgasme ininterrompu de une heure. Avec un Dizzy Gillespie, heureux comme un gosse, magistral et un "Kid" de Chaplin, magnifiquement partageur de bonheur, qui sait mener ses potes au summum de leur art. Un concert inoubliable, avec des pointures, qui sont là pour partager le bonheur d'une musique universelle. La qualité du concert de Berlin, avec l'enthousiasme des images de musiciens pleinement heureux de fêter l'anniversaire de ce maître iconoclaste du jazz ! Manque plus que la diffusion des images de la rencontre avec les "Double Six"...
Now after hearing this folks; Who wants to listen to "America's Got Talent"? These guys were the cream of the crop- some already gone long before this concert. Still some over the top musicians out there, some just teenagers; but you probably won't hear them on network TV.
Freddie Hubbard, was a superhero of mine, still is. Mr. Hubbard, we'll never forget your talent you were able to put forth until that lip injury. Slide Hampton and Frank Rosolino, my two favorite trombone players. Frank died in '78, or I'd bet he'd been in this concert.
I've never been a Jon Faddis fan. He comes across as in-genuine and self absorbed. Example, at 20:01 when Cecil finishes his solo, zero expression from Jon.
Whilst I agree he looks totally nonplussed during everyone else's efforts, it may be because he is totally focussed on what he is doing. Some musicians are like like that. They strip everything else away so they can perform at their highest level.

Great jazz-Don't know why you never hear those great Gillespie tunes these days like Con Alma.
It's a tough tune to play, especially when you're competing with all of Dizzy's recordings of it!
this has got to be the most goated trumpet section like ever
Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet); Wynton Marsalis. (trumpet); Jon Faddis (trumpet); Freddie Hubbard. (trumpet); Jimmy Owens (trumpet); Vaughn Nark. (trumpet); WalterDavis Jr.
The rhythm section in "Fiesta Mojo" is fantastic!
Congratulations for the transcription ! Better image than my Laserdisc. This is probably one of the greatest live recorded jazz concert.
a galaxy of stars to celebrate a star.....
Dizzy Gillespie, Jon Faddis, Slide Hampton, James Moody, Cecil Payne, Chris White, Jon Hendricks
Sencillamente espectacular.
GRACIAS DIZZY POR TU MUSICA QUE SOLO UN GENIO COMO TU PUDO HACER
Thanks Jimmy Lane 👍👍👍

Additional treat is Flora Purim (vocal) and Airto (percussion) with Dave Valetin (flute), starting at about 38:OO.

The best jazz musicians today are in London. Try Ezra Collective, all guys in their 30s or younger,
20:07
