Dizzy Gillespie & Sonny Stitt"Blue n Boogie" performed by Steve Bone.Day 279 of the JSC.

Groovin' High is a 1992 compilation album of live sessions by jazz composer and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. The Rough Guide to Jazz describes the album as "some of the key bebop small-group and big-band recordings". Jazz critic Scott Yanow concedes that the music included is classic, but dismisses the compilation over-all as "so-so" because of its brevity, because of the out of date and lightweight liner notes and because the material presented does not represent the complete sessions at which the material was played.The compilation features Gillespie with a number of combinations and other musicians, including his 1946 big band, Charlie Parker, a sextet with Dexter Gordon, and a combo featuring Sonny Stitt.

I could see you easily doing a duet with one of my favorite fun loving, crazy, mad trumpeters of all times. The piece really bops daddy! I know Dizzy is smilin' down on you my brother. Those young cats trying to get their chops honed really appreciate the tips on the tools of the trade too! I could see me speeding on the I-5 to this, Salt Peanuts or Manteca: (means grease or lard in Spanish-The Afro-Cuban period).

@groovetonemusic Oh, good to know. Thats about 30 US dollars. What was the brand again steve?

@CKwasney Hi, I mainly prefer tenor because of the players I prefer and the sound it offers. Don't get me wrong, I love all of the horns I play, but tenor just feels like home! Does that make sense! Cheers Steve...
