Dizzy Gillespie's The Ebullient Mr. Gillespie Newly Remastered from Original Analog Sources and Pressed on 180g Vinyl LP at Third Man Pressing in Detroit as Part of the Verve By Request Series.
The band Gillespie assembled for this date – Junior Mance, Les Spann, Sam Jones, and Lex Humphries - was for the most part a working band on the club and concert circuit, offering a mixture of Gillespie's entertaining songs, established repertoire, and some Latin and African-influenced pieces. With them, Dizzy found a middle ground in his music that gave his legacy room to breathe, but with much more rhythmic variety. The Verve by Request Series features 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
