Synopsis

Album Description
DizzyÂ?s Business is a passionate, high-energy experience. The 13 tracks on The Dizzy GillespieÂ? All-Star Big BandÂ?s sophomore CD Â? built on Dizzy GillespieÂ?s original big band charts with new arrangements by musical director and Grammy Award winning arranger Slide Hampton, master saxophonist Jimmy Heath and drummer extraordinare Dennis Mackrel Â? come to life through the collective talents of what can only be categorized as GillespieÂ?s Â"dream band.Â" Recorded live at Manchester CraftsmenÂ?s Guild in Pittsburgh, PA, during a four-night stand in September-October 2005, DizzyÂ?s Business showcases the talents of 18 disciples from the Gillespie school Â? many of them musical luminaries in their own right Â? under the leadership of the great trombonist Slide Hampton. Included in the star-studded lineup are Jimmy Heath, James Moody, Frank Wess, Claudio Roditi, Randy Brecker, Antonio Hart, and Executive Director John Lee Â? all veterans who played with Dizzy at various times throughout the past five decades. Special guest trumpeter Roy Hargrove and the Italian-born vocal sensation Roberta Gambarini round out the ensemble. Hargrove lends his expert sound and riveting solos while Gambarini brings a remarkable range and gift for improvisation.
