简介:  专辑介绍: Dizzy Gillespie(迪兹·吉莱斯皮)1917~1993 被誉为使人”眩晕”的小号手. 1917年10月21日生干美国南卡罗来纳州的奇罗市,原名约翰·博克斯·吉莱斯皮。吉莱斯皮幼年时就学会了演唱奏长号,12岁转学演奏小号。在摇摆乐大师罗伊.埃尔德里奇的鼓励和影响下,吉莱斯皮在费城加入了弗兰基·菲尔法克斯的乐队。一年后又加盟卡伯·卡罗惟的管弦乐队。1939—1941年,他一直是这支乐队的主要成员。 1941—1943年,吉莱斯皮曾先后在多支乐队中效过力。1942年,吉莱斯皮加盟诲恩斯伯爵的大乐队,这是一支从未录过音的乐队,也是最早尝试演奏波普爵士乐的乐队之一,这时的吉莱斯皮已经建立起了自己的风格,写出了最著名的作品《突尼斯之夜》。 1992年75岁的吉莱斯皮依然风采不减活跃在爵士乐坛。1993年1月7曰,吉莱斯皮在新泽西州格林伍傅市去世,享年76岁。 In the 1990s, Verve had several CD reissue programs going on simultaneously. "Talkin' Verve" was one of their more eccentric series, and some of those releases did not have much of a plot or purpose. This particular set draws its material from a wide variety of Dizzy Gillespie recordings (most readily available in more coherent fashion elsewhere), focusing on some of his more danceable performances (sort of). Certainly the lightweight renditions of "Theme From the Cool World," "Walk On the Wild Side," "Kush," "Bang, Bang" and "Swing Low, Sweet Cadillac" are far from classics, either as bebop or Afro-Cuban jazz. So overall, this is a rather frivolous and forgettable reissue.
