Dizzy Gillespie Et Les Double-Six – Dizzy Gillespie Et Les Double-SixR-5380963-1391964529-6233.jpg.0606f852c91db325dabc95b9935a32b0.jpg

 

Though it is some unusual surroundings, it is a classic bop record. The Double Six of Paris vocalize the original arrangements of the Dizzy´s famous Big Band in the 40´s and the solos of the saxophonists like James Moody and others. If you can stand all that "shu bee doo" of the vocal or the nonsense lyrics in french and just listen to the music, the results are very fine. 
Diz is in excellent form, as is his old companion from the good old bop years, Bud Powell. Some critics used to write off Bud´s later recordings, but who hears his contributions here or from the Dexter album "Our Man in Paris" from the same time, will see that them critics were wrong and may have destroyed many careers with them their dumb writing......

OMG that Shihab cd is hard to beat either in musical content or sonic quality. . . exceptional.

Now, something different, onto the Bob Dylan “The Cutting Edge Collector’s Edition” box set, disc 4–all “Like a Rolling Stone.”

By the end of this disc I can tell you how it feels.

The Japanese LP I have of it also sounds great so I can imagine how terrific the CD must do on your system.

Such a good album too.
