Actually though I sometimes think it is, the consensus here is that it is not (though this is in discussion of "John Birks" on "Let Me Tell You About It"). haven't looked into the booklets recently so it might well be in there, too, but going through the Left Bank Performance Listings http://home.earthlink.net/~eskelin/leftbank.html I got the impression that most of the lesser known names on the Leo Parker BNs are local players from Baltimore, Bill Swindell, Purnell Rice, John Burkes, Yusef Salim all pop up there... Hm. Not being able to hear the tape, I'm not sure "John Birks" (on the Blue Note personnel lilsting) and Johnny Burkes are the same person. Actually though I sometimes think it is, the consensus here is that it is not (though this is in discussion of "John Birks" on "Let Me Tell You About It"). Actually though I sometimes think it is, the consensus here is that it is not (though this is in discussion of "John Birks" on "Let Me Tell You About It"). Thanks Lon, though the name is too uncanny. I haven't heard either session, but I would think the tone, phrasing and licks would give away it's Diz, unless he purposely played differently as to not give it away. When I listen to the session I allow myself to entertain the possibility that it is Diz purposedly playing differently, I do hear some similarities. I can't know either way. My copy of the cd is packed and shipped to Ohio so can't revisit right now Dave Burns is listed as the trumpeter on the Rollin' with Leo date and that seems convincing to me. On the couple of tracks I've just listened to I'm sure it's not Dizzy and the trumpeter sounds like the same guy who plays on James Moody's Wail, Moody Wail (also listed as Burns.) Perhaps the confusion arose because of Burns's long association with Dizzy as a Gillespie Big Band sideman.

I always look on IMDB to see if Ebert has reviewed a movie. It's always worth knowing what he thinks.
