1963: Dizzy Gillespie revisits the bebop canon and adds fresh material with a killing small group featuring James Moody and a young Kenny Barron - the title is the program, and both halves deliver. The old material gets no museum treatment: "Bebop" and its siblings are attacked at full velocity, with Dizzy proving that the founding father still had the fastest hands in the building. Moody, as ever, is the ideal partner - fluent on tenor, flute and alto, endlessly swinging - and Barron's arrival announces one of the great piano careers. Sixties Gillespie is underrated across the board; this is a prime exhibit. Japanese pressing.
