| | Dizzy Gillespie Showtime At The Spotlite 52ND Street New York City, June 1946 CD Dizzy Gillespie Discography of CDs
 (1 Customer Review)
(2-CD set) A rare live recording of one the first generations of the Dizzy Gillespie big band legacy. This exciting audio archive, originally recorded by Jerry Newman, is presented in fully restored sound and showcases the band from two nights in June 19
Dizzy Gillespie: Howard Johnson , John Brown (alto saxophone); Ray Abrama, James Moody (tenor saxophone); Sol Moore (baritone saxophone); Talib Dawud, Johnny Lynch, Dave Burns, Dizzy Gillespie, Elmon Wright (trumpet); Alton Moore, Leon Comegys, Gordon Thomas (trombone); Thelonious Monk (piano); Milt Jackson (vibraphone); Ray Brown (bass instrument); Kenny Clarke (drums).
Dizzy Gillespie is heard leading his big band in a series of live performances during the summer of 1946, recorded by the legendary Jerry Newman, a fan who made historic transcription discs of many groups during the era. Unlike many of the commercial issues that have appeared over the years, Uptown was able to obtain the original discs from Newman's family, so with skilled restoration, the audio is quite impressive throughout this two-CD set. The fidelity is especially great for the horns and reeds, while the rhythm section isn't completely buried as on many such sessions. Some of the highlights include a sizzling take of "Our Delight" featuring the leader and tenorist James Moody, vibraphonist Milt Jackson in "The Man I Love," Thelonious Monk's "'Round Midnight" with its composer at the piano and Jackson, several takes of Gillespie's modern "Things to Come," plus a guest appearance by vocalist Sarah Vaughan in what is billed as an intermission feature of "Don't Blame Me," with tenorist Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis chiming in. Ira Gitler's detailed liner notes and the wide variety of vintage photos add to the value of this essential release for Dizzy Gillespie's fans. ~ Ken DrydenDown Beat (p.80) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "[A] seminal historical recording of Dizzy Gillespie's pathbreaking '40s big band....Gillespie is in transcendent form..."

Audio Remixer: Lucien "Luciano" Nicolet.
Recording information: Facing West, San Francisco, CA.
The title and cover art may seem quirky but it's for a purpose -- for Open Wide, Dave Aju recorded all sounds and tones using his own vocals, in addition to his own singing. The results are an often wonderful fusion of experimentation and immediacy. While the origins of the recordings may seem avant-garde, if anything Open Wide aims directly at a line of descent from classic electro and '80s R&B, with the intention of getting you to dance rather than to nod sagely. Starting with the squirrelly, playful bounce of "Roundabout," part quirk glitch and part woozy house, with Aju's low chants a great way to get into the feel of the album, Open Wide shimmers from the beginning. "First Love" lets him do the loverman shtick over a low-key pulse that sounds more than a little like prime Luomo, but the focus ends up more on his wry overall performance, helping showcase his ability with arrangements much like the title track does later on. Rather than sticking to one definite mood, Aju happily hops all over the place, with the winsome art-pop feeling of "Crazy Place" following hot on the heels of the stop-start funk of "Bump" ("Crazy Place" reappears at the end of the album in a Luciano remix). There's also so much good humor throughout that it's hard to pick moments -- but the stentorian voice saying "Well Mr. DJ, there IS no guest list tonight!" that starts "Anyway" is a treat, while calling a track "Tapatio" is a sign of knowing just what is needed for a good taco sometimes, which makes sense for a native of the Bay Area like Aju. ~ Ned Raggett
