Title: Dizzy Gillespie - Featuring Dizzy Gillespie
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1946, Jazz, Bebop, New York City
Matrix #: SSU-287
Condition: VG (VZ)
Cultural Facts:
-
Personal Struggle Gillespie was largely self-taught after his father died when he was 10 and the family fell into financial trouble.
-

-
Scene Ecology The track list pulls core early bop titles like “One Bass Hit,” “Ray’s Idea,” “Things To Come,” and “Emanon,” so this plays more like a small archive of bebop’s first language than a random comp.
