Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Stitt, John Lewis, Percy Heath, Max Roach & Hank Jones • The Bop Session

 

Review by Scott Yanow
This LP matches together trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and Sonny Stitt (on alto and tenor) with an all-star rhythm section (John Lewis or Hank Jones on piano, bassist Percy Heath and drummer Max Roach) for six classic bop standards. Gillespie was near the end of his prime but is in generally good form while Stitt typically eats the material (songs such as "Confirmation," "Groovin' High" and "All the Things You Are") with no difficulty. Bop fans should enjoy this date despite the lack of surprises.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este LP reúne al trompetista Dizzy Gillespie y a Sonny Stitt (en el alto y el tenor) con una sección rítmica de estrellas (John Lewis o Hank Jones al piano, el bajista Percy Heath y el baterista Max Roach) para seis estándares clásicos del bop. Gillespie estaba cerca del final de su mejor momento pero está en buena forma en general, mientras que Stitt suele comerse el material (canciones como "Confirmation", "Groovin' High" y "All the Things You Are") sin dificultad. Los fans del bop deberían disfrutar de esta cita a pesar de la falta de sorpresas.
