Recorded in New York on November 14-16, 1960. Originally released on Verve (MGV 8394).
Recorded live at Carnegie Hall, New York on March 4, 1961. Originally released on Verve (V6-8423).
GILLESPIANA, originally released on two LPs by Verve in 1960, features legendary be-bop trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie in two New York performances, one live from Carnegie Hall. A full jazz orchestra backs him on each, and the fat, Latin-tinged sound is the result of a combustible collaboration with a young Lalo Schiffrin.
At the time of these recordings, Gillespie was interested in bringing be-bop out of the bars and into a more artistic light. His work here with Schiffrin was praised at the time, Gillespie stretching his own talents to accommodate the younger composer's more contemporary compositional ideas. The first five tracks, all Schiffrin compositions, are studio recordings and have a sweeping orchestral depth. The remainder of the recording is the Carnegie Hall performance, which is looser but marvelous, and includes a Schiffrin reworking of Dizzy's classic "Night in Tunisia," as "Tunisian Fantasy," on the final cut.

It's taken a long time for the live portion of the early Motown library to finally get the treatment it deserves on compact disc -- what little of it has shown up was done very early in the CD era, when a lot of the work in finding and choosing source tapes and engineering them properly left a lot to be desired; and the early live albums by the likes of the Miracles and Marvin Gaye have never shown up legitimately, leading one to believe that there are problems finding proper master tapes on them. The four Motortown Revue albums assembled here -- of which the first three, dating between 1963 and 1965, certainly qualify as being representative of the label's classic era -- show what can be done with this repertory when the sources do exist. There are rough moments, to be sure, as it wasn't easy to record a live R&B show in those days, but the excitement of the performers and the audience overcome most of those technical flaws. The Contours bound right over the technical limitations like acrobats vaulting a not-too-high obstacle, and from there we get the Supremes with Florence Ballard center stage on the lead -- which by itself is worth the price of admission -- followed by Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder doing incredible things vocally, and the Marvelettes followed by Mary Wells (rousing the audience with the beautiful, stirring "Bye Bye Baby"). The Miracles close out the show with killer renditions of "You Really Got a Hold on Me" (including their segue into one verse and chorus of Sam Cooke's "Bring It on Home to Me") and "Way Over There," a single that they and Berry Gordy loved so much that they recorded it at least twice, and which here gets a high-octane reading that emphasizes the ...
