Condition: New
Format: CD
EAN: 8436028696628
Description: The complete original LP Gillespiana (Verve MGV8394), the fi rst of many collaborations between Dizzy Gillespie and Argentinean pianist Lalo Schifrin. In addition to his role as the band s pianist, Schifrin also composed the complete Gillespiana suite. A week after the studio session, the Gillespiana suite was performed live in Paris in a quintet format. Four of the fi ve movements from that concert have been added here as a bonus, allowing us to compare the orchestral and small group versions. Includes 16-page booklet. Best known for his fi lm and TV scores, Lalo Schifrin (born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on June 21, 1932) began as a jazz piano player who worked with some of the most important musicians of his day. Schifrin s life would dramatically change after Dizzy Gillespie s visit to Argentina. Always interested in exotic rhythms from all over the world, Gillespie embraced Schifrin and asked him to compose for his band. Gillespiana was the fi rst work he did for Dizzy. As a bonus, we have added four of the fi ve Gillespiana movements recorded live at Paris Salle Pleyel, the week following the original studio session. This time, Gillespie toured with a small combo, so Gillespiana was presented in a quintet arrangement which is very interesting to compare to the original orchestral chart.
