Dizzy Gillespie's Dream Band "Manteca"
Loading...
Uploaded by Furldman on Aug 19, 2009
Recorded in 1982 at Lincoln Center, captures legendary jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie performing with his Dream Band, consisting of a wide array of jazz music's finest musicians, many of whom worked with Gillespie during the evolutionary era of the early-'40s bebop period. It includes an all-star cast highlighted by pyrotechnic drum wizard Max Roach, Gillespie's protégé trumpeter Jon Faddis, and Modern Jazz Quartet cofounders John Lewis (piano) and Milt Jackson (vibraphone). The leader's crowd-pleasing persona, trademark puffy cheeks, and no-nonsense trumpet solos steal the show. Selections range from Gillespie's Afro-Cubop favorites "Manteca".

@bigmags212 I read that he bent the first one in a bus accident!

@bigmags212 I think you can actually custom order trumpets with the upswept bell. Jon Faddis' horn was the same way.

@MrTheguyofbigbite that is a trumpet, but with an upswept bell. The story behind that is that one night, Dizzy's trumpet fell and wound up that way. Dizzy liked how he was able to hear himself better and kept all his horns that way.

@MrTheguyofbigbite it is actually a normal trumpet. dizzy liked to heat it and bend the belll up. he said in an interview it was because he liked to have the bell on a line with his ear so he could hear his music better
