I forgot about this one:
Dizzy Gillespie and the Double Six of Paris (Philips) noteworthy for the presence of Bud Powell, but otherwise not essential **1/2
Actually, there were 3 Limelight albums:
Jambo Caribe (a calypso record, fun but on the light side)
The New Continent (a big band session recorded for Philips in 1962, not released until c. 1966)
The Melody Lingers On (this was the rather commercial side I referred to in the previous post)
One of the first times I saw Dizzy, the latter was his newest album. At one point James Moody, in a mock attempt to hawk the album on stage, held it up and read off the song titles, effectively ridiculing the record and jokingly humiliating Dizzy. As light as the record is, the band totally kicked ass live.
