Live at the Royal Festival Hall 1989
Live At The Royal Festival Hall, London
Dizzy Gillespie who was nearing 72 years old at the time of this concert, headed one of his finest big bands during his later years, The United Nation Orchestra With such stellar sidemen as trumpeters Arturo Sandoval and Claudio Roditi trombonists Slide Hampton and Steve Turre altoist Paquito D'Rivera James Moody on tenor and alto, pianist Danilo Perez and singer Flora Purim Gillespie was relieved from having to carry this concert by himself and could concentrate on taking short solos and enjoying listening to the band play. Whether it is "Tanga," "And Then She Stopped" or an 18-minute version of "A Night in Tunisia," every selection on this excellent CD works. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
