Our Take

Get ready to be transported to a world of bebop brilliance with Dizzy Gillespie's All Star Sessions. This collection of three classic albums, featuring the iconic Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt, is a masterclass in jazz virtuosity.

First up, we have Duets, a toe-tapping showcase of musical chemistry between Gillespie, Rollins and Stitt. The interplay of their saxophone and trumpet melodies is nothing short of delightful, with each musician showcasing their technical prowess and improvisational skills.

Next, Tour De Force takes us on a whirlwind tour of bebop's most exhilarating moments. From the breakneck speed of "I Can't Get Started" to the soulful swagger of "Stardust," Gillespie and his All Star crew deliver a knockout performance that will leave you breathless.

Finally, Sittin In invites us to pull up a chair and join in on the musical conversation. With its laid-back vibe and infectious energy, this album is the perfect soundtrack for a lazy Sunday afternoon or a late-night jam session with friends.

In conclusion, Dizzy Gillespie's All Star Sessions is a must-have for any jazz aficionado. With its dynamic performances, inventive arrangements and timeless music, this collection is a true treasure trove of musical genius. So sit back, relax, and let the magic of Gillespie, Rollins and Stitt sweep you off your feet.
