Notes
Recorded Live at the Blue Note, New York City, USA, January 23 - 25, 1992


Taken from a month that Dizzy Gillespie was featured at the Blue Note in New York, virtually at the end of his playing career, the 74-year-old trumpeter is quite erratic on this set of bop standards. However, his supporting cast (heard from in different combinations) includes such major players as altoists Jackie McLean, Antonio Hart and Paquito D'Rivera and tenors Benny Golson, Clifford Jordan and David Sanchez, in addition to a strong trio led by pianist Danilo Perez. The sidemen are in generally fine form and Bobby McFerrin literally came out of the audience to scat on ""Oo Pa Pa Da."" The good spirits and obvious love that these musicians had for Gillespie make up for his technical lapses.
