In '76 my best friend and I had just gotten our drivers permits and we were cruising around Annapolis MD. with absolutely nothing to do when we saw a sign that said "Jazz Festival" so we went. We got there and on the marquee was Matrix, Maynard Ferguson and Dizzy Gillespie. We walked up to the ticket window and noticed how much older and well dressed everyone else was. We were in cutoff jeans and t-shirts. 

Between the two of us we didn't have enough money for one ticket so we turned to leave when an older gentleman from inside the venue who had seen us digging in our pockets for money called out to us to come on in.

He took us right down front and sat us at a table just to the right of the stage. All the tables had table clothes and we had never been to a "concert" like this. The fellow that let us in sat with us and shot the shit. Very very funny and gracious. The first band on was a horn-centric fusion band called "Matrix", which was a perfect little "in" for us. Turns out Ferguson had played the night before so tonight it was Dizzy headlining.

Well, to our surprise, the dude that had let us in and hung out with us got up on stage, grabbed this strange "crooked" horn and put on one of the best shows I have ever seen in my life.

The band had two drummers and he played "Salt Peanuts" and "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat" - I'll never forget.

One of the most amazing nights of my life.

 

 
Wow, what a fabulous experience {#Arrowu}.  Those cheeks of Dizzy's are amazing.

Phew, the relief.  I always feel such a dimwit admitting that I think this stuff is grim.  It's not about being smart or cultured, I just don't like it.  So there.

Ha.  Just followed by Madness and I'm smiling.  Erm......

Wow, Bill, that segue from Caro Emerald to Dizzy Gillespie was sublime.  It's a blessing to have you as my DJ and to have radio paradise nearby.  Thanks.

The "Ode to Joy" choral movement of Beethoven's IX symphony sounds dated as well.  It's still a masterpiece.  Grow some ears and learn to listen with them.

Wow! I'm so glad to hear this here.

I actually found the old LP in a vintage record store in upstate NY ...

You have to listen to the version by the—so-called by Gillespie—United Nations Orchestra ... one can enjoy Dizzy and Arturo Sandoval playing together a call-and-response trumpet duet! What a special musician and human being Dizzy was!!

By that same token...we should abandon all literature and art pre 1990.  Great music , art, and literature are timeless.  Open your mind.  Other eras were smart and creative...and if you are open to listening/experiencing  they will speak to you too.

DIZZ DIZZ DIZZ! He played 'The Muppet Show' once: Dizz: I really like frogs. Kermit: Really, why? Dizz: 'Cause they can do this (puffs out cheeks) Kermit: (looking shocked) I can't do that. Dizz wrote the book (okay, co-authored) a whole genre of jazz. Great change of pace. c.

Totally! It makes me want to go put on a red cocktail dress, fix my hair up in a beehive, and sit around a hotel lobby drinking vodka tonics and smoking cigarettes out of holder. I like it though. I love this kind of stuff.

Really True....I wasn't raised on jazz, I raised on Zappa (and a lot of other good stuff of course), but I totally understand what you're saying...If it weren't for what jazz did for music at large we would still be listening to stuff like The Platters and The Beach Boys constantly....now that would be hard to handle!

I remember seeing Dizzy on TV when I was about 12, I had been playing the trumpet for 2 years at that point and his cheeks freaked me out. I spent the next couple weeks trying to emulate with utter failure.
