History has produced its share of great artists and great people—John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie was both. As a performer, he left behind an incredible record of innovation and inspiration; as a composer, a broad repository of musical masterpieces; and as a man, a legion of friends, colleagues and compatriots who remember him with the same degree of love and esteem they reserve for his work.

The Dizzy Gillespie™ All-Star Big Band, a veritable who's who among jazz  musicians, was formed in the summer of 1998 to perform Dizzy Gillespie's classic big band repertoire and continue the legacy left by the late master.  ~ Patrice Lee  THE BAND>>    ABOUT DIZZY>>

"You could not have asked for a better ensemble of players to take on the challenge of reconstructing the style, wit and excitement of a Gillespie performance." Seth Rogovoy - The Berkshire Eagle 

"...what carried the show is this sharp-eared outfit's easy communication, it's seemingly offhanded mastery of some of jazz's trickiest and most stimulating music". Gene Santoro - New York Daily News 

"It was a showcase of virtuosity and personality, as the Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All-Stars blew and scatted their way through 'the man' and his music... When this outfit trades solos in cruise-control, it's a total slice of heaven." Jay Meehan - The Park Record

"They started off with 'Salt Peanuts' and never looked back. It was tight and loose and in your face." Valerie Cruice - New York Times
