Dizzy Gillespie and Dream Band Live in New York City - 1981

Dizzy Gillespie and Dream Band With Special Guests Gerry Mulligan & Max Roach Live in New York City, 1981. In 1981, the master showman Dizzy Gillespie performed at the Avery Fisher Hall (Lincoln Center) in New York City with his celebrated Dream Band, which brought together master musicians who had played with Dizzy or been influenced by him. Including amazing turns from Gerry Mulligan, John Faddis, Milt Jackson, Paquito DiRiviera, Candido and more. This film shares some of the backstage love and respect the players had for Diz. The concert itself is filmed beautifully with many close ups of the players and their instruments, as well as catching the love and humor of Dizzy. (Release date: 1982 (United States).
