Dizzy Gillespie Meets Pee Wee Russell?

[Dan Gould]

I stumbled across this and I am wondering if anyone knows anything about it. Even my favorite Dizzy expert, Lon, wasn't sure what this might be.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I might have this... Not sure...

Is the cover photo of Diz one w/him smoking/holding a really odd-looking pipe, one with sharp angles, almost looks like a golf club?

It if is, then it's a combination of some of his pre-RCA big band sides w/something of Pee Wee's, the source of which I don't know, since I've never actually listened to the album. It was a gift from one of my folk's flea market jaunts a few years ago and was totally trashed. I think they got it for a quarter or less. I just kept it for that weird looking pipe.

That's it. The pipe is huge and squared off:

Thanks, now I can safely pass it by.

What are some of the tunes?

Lon or I could probably ID the PeeWee sides. Assuming the Dizzy sides are more identifiable.

Viking VK002 & VKS1002 both titled "Dizzy Gillespie Meets Pee Wee Russell"

I have only managed to find those two tunes by using the multisearch "Pee Wee Russell" + "Viking"

Yep, that is indeed it.

I'm dying to do a Dizzy Gillespie/Pee Wee Herman mashup.
