Lalo Schifrin is an Argentinian pianist, composer, arranger, and conductor who studied and played in France in the early 1950s before forming his own jazz orchestra back in Argentina. The founding father of bebop, Dizzy Gillespie is regarded as one of the most innovative and forward thinking jazz musicians ever to grace the genre. When the two decided to start working together in the early 1960's, they laid to tape some of the greatest jazz records ever. He first met Dizzy Gillespie in 1956 when Gillespie visited Buenos Aries and offered to write the trumpeter a suite of orchestral jazz. The result was the glorious extended work Gillespiana. While in New York in 1960, he recorded this masterpiece with Gillespie's 22 piece big band and was offered chance to join Gillespie's Quintet as pianist. Over the next two years they recorded a number of sessions as well as performing at recorded concerts and club dates. This exposure helped establish Schifrin's reputation, providing the basis for becoming a celebrated composer of film music in later years. This collection provides and snap shot into their time together, featuring three movements from Schifrin's Gillespiana on side A, with three of Gillespie's classic bebop tunes, Salt Peanuts, A Night In Tunisia and Here 'Tis performed by his quintet with Shifrin sitting in on piano on the flip. It will leave the listener with a thirst for more from this stunning collaboration.
