  • Description

    November 20, 1961 Dizzy Gillespie brought on stage at the Falkoner Centret, Copenhagen the quintet version of his "Gillespiana Suite", composed originally for his 16-piece orchestra by young Argentine composer/pianist Lalo Schifrin.

    The suite was recorded in the previous year to become a huge success. This composition paved the way for Schifrin to become one of the most popular screen music composers. The program finishes with Gillespie's own Kush which stayed in his repertoire for the next 15 years.

    Dizzy Gillespie: trumpet
    Leo Wright: alto saxophone, flute
    Lalo Schifrin: piano
    Bob Cunningham: bass
    Mel Lewis: drums

    Recorded Live Falkoner Centret, Copenhagen, Denmark, November 20, 1961
