Concert of the Century – A Tribute to Charlie Parker Dizzy Gillespie & Friends SKU: 0068944025916 Barcode: 068944025916 20.00 £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Justin Time Records Released Date: 7th November 2016 Buying Format: 180g 2LP Out of stock Back Order Add to your Wishlist Description Product Info On a cold November evening in 1980, 3000 jazz fans filled the Salle Wilfrid Pelletier Hall of Place des Arts in Montreal, Quebec to attend what promised to be, a swinging evening featuring six of the biggest names in bebop. Billed The Concert of the Century – A Tribute to Charlie Parker, and under the direction of Dizzy Gillespie – one of the best jazz trumpeters of all time – the event featured legendary performers: Hank Jones – piano, Ray Brown – bass, Milt Jackson – vibes, Philly Joe Jones – drums and James Moody on tenor sax and flute. Local club owner Roue Doudou Boicel, who produced the concert, had the foresight to record the concert in its entirety. A limited quantity bootleg LP of the concert soon appeared and then disappeared from the marketplace, those tapes lay dormant for over 30 years. This historic recording opens with rapturous applause that sets the tone with Dizzy’s own “Blues ‘N’ Boogie.” Also featured are several classic standards – some more well known then others – including “Darben The Redd Foxx,” “Time On My Hands,” “Get Happy,” “The Shadow Of Your Smile” and “Stardust.” All the players are at the top of their game and having a blast, as evidenced by the banter and repartee between songs. Concert of the Century, pristinely restored and remastered, features two tracks that weren’t on the original pressing from the early ‘80s – Ralph Rainger’s “If I Should Lose You” and an incredible eight minute bass solo by Ray Brown. Featured on the Justin Time Essentials Collection – it will be available as a gatefold 180g 2LP-set. Musicians: Dizzy Gillespie, trumpet Ray Brown, bass Hank Jones, piano Philly Joe Jones, drums Milt Jackson, vibraphone James Moody, tenor saxophone/flute Features: • Gatefold 180g 2LP-set • Pristinely restored & remastered 1980 live recording • First time available on wide release vinyl • 6 of the greatest jazz legends in their prime • Includes 2 bonus tracks not on original ’80s pressing • Featured on the Justin Time Essentials collection Artist Dizzy Gillespie & Friends Genre Jazz Label Justin Time Records Buying Options 180g 2LP Format 180g , 2LP Condition New Country United Kingdom Track Listings LP1 Blue ‘n' Boogie If I Should Lose You Darben the Redd Foxx Time On My Hands LP2 Get Happy The Shadow of Your Smile Bass Solo/Manhã de Carnaval/Work Song featuring Ray Brown Stardust Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Jazz View Product Quick View Shelly Manne & His Men At The Black Hawk Vol. 1 Jazz | Contemporary Records (Acoustic Sounds Series) | 180g, 1LP Released 15th March 2024 £35.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Shelly Manne & His Men At The Black Hawk Vol. 1 £35.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Contemporary Records (Acoustic Sounds Series) SKU: CR601 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 15th March 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Joe Henderson Inner Urge Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 18th February 2022 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Joe Henderson Inner Urge £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 3876183 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th February 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Gregory Porter Issues of Life: Features and Remixes Jazz | Membran | 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 6th October 2014 £27.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gregory Porter Issues of Life: Features and Remixes £27.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Membran SKU: 233885 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 6th October 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Modern Jazz Quartet Lonely Woman Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 18th March 2016 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Modern Jazz Quartet Lonely Woman £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPANSD1381 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Hank Garland Jazz Winds From A New Direction Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 1LP Released 2nd March 2015 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Hank Garland Jazz Winds From A New Direction £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: CS8372 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 2nd March 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Billie Holiday Lady Sings The Blues Jazz | Verve | 180g, 1LP Released 21st March 2016 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Billie Holiday Lady Sings The Blues £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 5345887 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 21st March 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Solveig Slettahjell Come In From The Rain Jazz | ACT | 180g, 1LP Released 28th August 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Solveig Slettahjell Come In From The Rain £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP97411 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 28th August 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Bobby McFerrin Spontaneous Inventions Jazz | Universal/Blue Note | 1LP Released 29th December 2014 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bobby McFerrin Spontaneous Inventions £14.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Universal/Blue Note SKU: 3793765 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 29th December 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Fiona Grond Poesias Jazz | ACT | 1LP Released 15th September 2023 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Fiona Grond Poesias £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9745-1 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 15th September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Patricia Barber Cafe Blue Jazz | Premonition | 180g, 2LP Released 13th August 2018 £76.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Patricia Barber Cafe Blue £76.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Premonition SKU: 90760 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 13th August 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
