"Bloomdido" is from Bird & Diz , a studio album by jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, recorded on June 6, 1950 and originally released on Clef Records. The album has been reissued several times by Verve and PolyGram Records.
From start to finish this is one of the most perfect pieces of music ever played.

Those were the days of great music! But I am a fan of the later style named Hardbob. America and Africa was a great combination and fusion for Jazz music! Thanks for placing.

@0101mariusz No, this is definitely Dizzy. There is a recording of this with Davis on trumpet but this is the cut with Gillespie. his styly comes through especially at 1:40-1:46 and 1:52.

Hey, it is not Dizzy Gillespie, it is young Miles Davis on trumpet.

@postatility Yeah, nobody sounds like Monk. He was one of a kind. Monk also wrote a lot of VERY complex compositions. I think it was 25 takes they did of "Brilliant Corners" and still didn't have a complete take. Then Orrin Keepnews took the 25 incomplete takes and was able to knit together a full version. There will never be another Thelonious Monk.
