My history of seeing Dizzy stretched from 1959 when I saw him with his Have Trumpet Will Excite quintet of Les Spann, Junior Mance, Sam Jones and Lex Humphries at the St George's Hall, Bradford UK via the Giants of Jazz tour with Stitt, Winding, Monk, McKibbon and Blakey which I saw at the Dominion Theatre, Tottenham Court Road, London to the United Nations Orchestra with Paquito D'Rivera, Claudio Roditi, Arturo Sandoval and others which I saw at the Odeon Cinema, Manchester in 1991.
