      I played piano in jazz band in high school and had a jazz teacher who saw the music in me before I saw it in myself. He would constantly point at me to solo and I had virtually no scales and barely any improv in me. 😂😂
      We played this song for the spring concert and it still has a fond place in my heart.

      Lars Andersson Manhattan Transfer covered this is 1985. Chaka sang her version of the song in 1981. Please explain to me how she covered a song she already recorded four years prior? Manhattan Transfer scatted to the music. It was Arif Mardin, Dizzy Gillespie himself and Chaka that made the magic happen for her version of this song. Chaka DID NOT cover Manhattan Transfer’s version.

    The ending of day brings release
    Each wonderful night in Tunisia
    Where the nights are filled with peace.
    The stars are aglow in heavens
    But only the wise understand
    That shining tonight in Tunisia
    They guide you through descent sand
    And words fail to tell a tale exoticto be taid

    I remember the night the Gillespie died I roamed around town playing a tape of "The Paris All Stars Homage to Charlie Parker" in my car stopping at different haunts telling people "The Dizz died" and having drinks in his honor.
    if it's a challenge for your ears to keep up at the pace Gillespie and Parker play in their solos imagine singing words that match those notes & rhythms note-for-note.
    That's what John Hendrix, known for Lambert Hendricks and Ross, did and there is a recording of it on Manhatten Transfer's greatest work called "vocalese" under the title "another night in Tunisia". (Bobby McFerrin does the chest thumping Bassline thing in it but it is Hendrix singing the solo.)Hendrix wrote the lyrics for all the songs on the album did a recording including other classics like Sonny Rollin's "Airegin " where all the singers and Hendrix separately sang the solos at unbelievable speeds. Ever time I hear it I think it's not possible, yet I hear it. Hendrix seems like he always wished he'd been a horn player so he created a new art form instead. BTW, The Dizz has a solo on Clifford Brown's "sing joy spring"

      It's like Krieger's reply, when Archer asks him how his attempts at playing YYZ (Ahem! Y Y Zed..) are going:
      (Bemused) "It's *impossible*."
      And still Bird did it.

    🎉🎉I actually went to Tunisia as a member of the U.S. Navy. The city was called Bizerte and was on the Mediterranean. It threw me for a loop as I expected the city to be lush, green, and tropical. It was Brown, tan, and sandy. Well of course it was because it's in the Sahara Desert! Still, it was an interesting place. Once I made it down to Djibouti, by the Red Sea, then I got the whole tropical Africa experience. Fabulous song with many versions. I have at least 5 Jazz albums with this song. I even heard a hip Hop band called Kids These Days put their spin on the song. It was pretty solid.

    Must Remember, Tunesia was a french colony at the time, and have retained Much of the french lifestyle to This Day, and they are better of because of that! Seems they are the only country that benefits from the Arabien spring of 2011, but codos to Dizzy who really captures something essentiel about north africa.
