Live at Singer Concert Hall 1973 / Dizzy Gillespie

The discovery of unpublished recordings such as the one of this 1973 Dizzy Gillespie concert in Laren give a fresh, dispassionate perspective on the music that the artist was producing in the 1970s. Apart from high profile tours with legends of bebop (such as the Giants of Jazz in 1971) Gillespie would return to the framework of his usual small bands that were familiar yet experimental.
