This unique set finds
Dizzy Gillespie (who was nearly age 65) sharing the frontline with the great Cuban trumpeter
Arturo Sandoval. Backed by a fine Finnish rhythm section,
Sandoval and the great trumpeter are both in good spirits playing five of
Gillespie's originals including "Wheatleigh Hall" and "And Then She Stopped." Considering that it would be another decade before
Sandoval was able to defect from Cuba (and finally play the music he wanted), this recording is of great historic value. ~ Scott Yanow
