• Dizzy Gillespie is showcased brilliantly through these 1957 studio sides as the pivotal figure in an unusual octet setting - with an all-star line-up.
• When Gillespie told Benny Golson of his desire to record something with a new instrumentation, Benny suggested the octet pattern and called Gigi Gryce to share the writing chores.
• The results achieve their goal, presenting excellent voicing and accompaniment to a straightforward Gillespie in a refreshingly new framework for “the greatest trumpet of them all.”
• Personnel : Dizzy Gillespie (tp), Henry Coker (tb), Gigi Gryce (as), Benny Golson (ts), Pee Wee Moore (bars), Ray Bryant (p), Tommy Bryant (b), Charlie Persip (d) - Recorded New York City, 1957.
