Dizzy Gillespie And The United Nation Orchestra

Posted: November 22, 2009 in Jazz Interests

One of the famous live i’ve listened  until now. This live takes place at The Royal Festival Hall, London and Dizzy. This is a prime example of Gillespie in his element. Formed in 1988, his United Nations Orchestra was an eclectic multi-cultural collection of some of the best and brightest jazz musicians the world had to offer. Many, if not all, of the personnel were already recognized masters in the genre while some of the younger players have used the ensemble as a springboard to successful solo careers.
