o Two rare and long out of print performances by the 1974 quintet fronted by bebop luminaries Dizzy Gillespie and Sonny Stitt - plus, as a bonus, most of the material from a third concert by the same group in Belgrade.

o Dizzy Gillespie’s association with Sonny Stitt dates back to the inception of bebop. Their first recorded encounter took place in 1946. In the mid fifties, both Sonny and Diz were part of the Norman Granz Jazz at the Philharmonic wagon, etc.... but after this tour, Gillespie and Stitt’s paths would only be recorded together on one occasion: for the making of the album “The Bop Session” (May 1975).

o Personnel : Dizzy Gillespie, trumpet; Sonny Stitt, alto & tenor sax; Al Gafa, guitar; Earl May, bass; Mickey Roker, drums. Recorded in Paris (November 1974), and Copenhagen (October 1974) - plus the bonus tracks in Belgrade (November 1974).

o Total Time: 78:49 - 14 tracks - Includes 8-page booklet.
