Description:
This double CD named "The Eternal Triangles" features three classic LPs on which Dizzy Gillespie is surrounded by Sonny Rollins, Sonny Stitt, and Stan Getz. On the 1957 sessions, which produced the albums Duets and Sonny Side Up, Dizzy, in fascinatingly adept form, plays in empathetic relationship with Rollins and Stitt (on alto and tenor), agilely supported by the Bryant brothers, Ray and Tommy, plus Charlie Persip. He described these performances as "one of the most gratifying dates" he had ever played on. About their comparative styles, Dizzy said "Rollins is more raucous. He reminds me of a lion the
This double CD named "The Eternal Triangles" features three classic LPs on which Dizzy Gillespie is surrounded by Sonny Rollins, Sonny Stitt, and Stan Getz. On the 1957 sessions, which produced the albums Duets and Sonny Side Up, Dizzy, in fascinatingly adept form, plays in empathetic relationship with Rollins and Stitt (on alto and tenor), agilely supported by the Bryant brothers, Ray and Tommy, plus Charlie Persip. He described these performances as "one of the most gratifying dates" he had ever played on. About their comparative styles, Dizzy said "Rollins is more raucous. He reminds me of a lion the way he attacks". About Stitt "He's more like a cat charming a bird. He kind of hypnotizes, the way he gets in and out of things." On the 1956 For Musicians Only album, Stitt is playing only alto because Stan Getz did not want to have two tenors on the session. The rhythm section is fabulous: "Having Ray Brown, Herb Ellis, Stan Levey and John Lewis was a real dream team for us" pointed Dizzy. Fifty-three years later, these four sessions are still unmatched. Timeless.
