Dizzy Gillespie • Perceptions

 

 

Review by Scott Yanow

This unusual session consists of a complex six-movement suite by J.J. Johnson featuring Dizzy Gillespie's trumpet over a brass choir (six trumpets, two trombones, two bass trombones, four French horns and two tubas), bass, drums, percussion and two harps. Often reminiscent of classical music, Johnson's writing allows plenty of room for Gillespie to improvise. The result is a rather unique set of music that is well worth searching for.

Reseña de Scott Yanow

Esta sesión inusual consiste en una compleja suite de seis movimientos de J. J. Johnson con la trompeta de Dizzy Gillespie sobre un coro de metales (seis trompetas, dos trombones, dos trombones bajos, cuatro trompas y dos tubas), bajo, batería, percusión y dos arpas. A menudo con reminiscencias de la música clásica, la escritura de Johnson deja mucho espacio para que Gillespie improvise. El resultado es un conjunto de música bastante único que vale la pena buscar.
