Our Take

DIZZY GILLESPIE The Ebullient Mr. Gillespie (Verve. 1959)

Good ol' Diz is back at it again with "The Ebullient Mr. Gillespie", and let me tell you, this jazz legend is not messing around. From the first note to the last, Gillespie's trumpet playing is as electrifying as ever, with each track bursting at the seams with his trademark exuberance.

The album kicks off with the infectious grooves of "Tin Tin Deo", setting the tone for the rest of the record. Gillespie's masterful improvisation takes center stage, weaving in and out of complex melodies with ease. It's impossible not to be swept up in the sheer joy and energy of his playing.

Tracks like "Ooh-Shoo-Be-Doo-Bee" and "Barbados Carnival" showcase Gillespie's versatility as a musician, blending Latin rhythms with bebop sensibilities. The result is a heady mix of spirited tunes that will have you tapping your feet and nodding your head in no time.

But it's not just Gillespie's trumpet that shines on this record - the rest of the band is top-notch, with stellar performances from the likes of Junior Mance on piano and Ray Brown on bass. The chemistry between the musicians is palpable, adding an extra layer of depth and dynamism to the music.

"The Ebullient Mr. Gillespie" is a must-listen for any jazz aficionado, showcasing Dizzy Gillespie at the height of his powers. So grab a glass of your favourite tipple and let yourself be transported to the swinging era of 1950s jazz. You won't regret it, daddy-o.
