This was a live recording of Dizzy and friends in Havana in 1985. "Night in Tunisia" was composed by Dizzy in 1942.

In 1n 1985, Dizzy Gillespie returned to Cuba after an absence of 40 years. He was one of the first American jazz musicians to add Afro-Cuban elements to his music, and Cubans to his big band. Most notably, in the 40s, was percussionist, Chano Pozo.

A then-young Arturo Sandoval (trumpet) and Gonzalo Rubalcaba (piano) sit in with Dizzy's band. Bari sax player, Sayyd Abdul al-Khabbyr, is remarkable. Walter Davis is on in this number.Great fun!

  • epic ending...

  • 8:39 - hot water's ready!

  • That Bari sax solo at the end was annoying, although I'm the the Bari sax players that watched this were impressed. All the other solos, including the previous solo from the Bari sax player, were nothing short of spectacular.

  • OS MELHORES........THE BEST!!
