Review by arwulf arwulf [-]


Volume two in the Masters of Jazz series on Dizzy Gillespie zeroes in on the 23-year-old trumpeter's adventures as a member of the Cab Calloway Orchestra during a six-month period between late June 1940 and mid-January 1941. Despite Calloway's reactionary attitudes towards modernity (and a reluctance to allow his instrumentalists to upstage him in any way shape or form), his big band was one of the best in its day, with Mario Bauza, Lammar Wright, Jr., and Diz in the trumpet section, Quentin "Butter" Jackson and Tyree Glenn in the 'bone department, Hilton Jefferson, Chu Berry, and Walter "Foots" Thomas blowing saxophones and Milt "The Judge" Hinton manning the string bass. Vocals are by Calloway (of course) and by Alice O'Connell. This compilation is in effect a diligent traipse through the Calloway archives, touching only upon the recordings on which young Gillespie is audibly active. The survey includes numerous studio recordings from the OKeh catalog and a thrilling series of live excerpts from the Calloway Orchestra's historic performance at the Meadowbrook in Cedar Grove, NJ on July 27, 1940. Great instrumental moments from this engagement include a scorching hot "Limehouse Blues," a fine take on the "King Porter Stomp" and the provocatively titled "Cupid's Nightmare."
