Dizzy Gillespie as concerto soloist: an ambitious 1962 large-scale work composed by Lalo Schifrin, with the trumpet soaring over orchestral movements that blend jazz, Latin and classical languages into something genuinely new for its moment. Schifrin - then Dizzy's pianist, soon to be Hollywood's secret weapon - writes with real sweep, and Gillespie responds with playing of enormous authority: the bravura runs, yes, but also a lyrical gravity the small-group records rarely required of him. One of the boldest third-stream statements of its day, and far more alive than that genre label suggests. Japanese Mercury pressing of a fascinating, underdiscussed record.
