Dizzy Gillespie, Terry Gibbs: Jazz Heroes

Dizzy Gillespie and Terry Gibbs are two jazzmen who produce fantastic jazz excitement. The trumpet genius, Dizzy, has an uncanny ability to come up with improvisatory lines that just sleekly soar out into the far reaches of outer space. The drivin' and vigorous pulsating vibes jazz music of the masterful Terry Gibbs just enthralls me. The sounds I heard today with the greatness of Gillespie and Gibbs were sensational. I especially delighted in the Dizzy Gillespie work (along with Terry and his band) on a feisty composition called 'Smoke em up.' The clever, vigorous solo work of the jazz icons was so fresh and so vividly explosive. Another fine rendition I heard today was the so-engaging giant jazz classic, 'A Night in Tunisia.' This number sends me into total joy every time I hear it. The thing has so much, beautifully visceral punch that it is a vast, remarkable and so freshly contemporary experience. The thrill of jazz music is when it comes so brilliantly alive with gigantic excitement. That's the sum total of listening to Dizzy Gillespie and Terry Gibbs. Their music is kind of like reading good tough fiction from the master, Elmore Leonard. The fun of fine jazz is very similar to the delight a person gets in reading great E. Leonard, like maybe that superb book of Mr. Leonard's....'Out of Sight.' The vibrant, kickin' strong JAZZ MUSIC of Mr. Dizzy Gillespie and Mr. Terry Gibbs packed my Tuesday with so much CRACKLING JOY today!
