{"product_id":"the-dizzy-gillespie-quintet-1963-monterey-jazz-festival","title":"The Dizzy Gillespie Quintet - 1963 Monterey Jazz Festival","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaptured live at the 1963 Monterey Jazz Festival, this rare release documents the Dizzy Gillespie Quintet in a vivid performance filled with the fire of bebop, the warmth of the blues, and the Brazilian rhythms that had become an important part of Gillespie’s musical language. Recordings of this appearance are seldom encountered, making its availability especially notable in high-resolution audio. The program moves naturally from dazzling uptempo improvisation to lyrical ballads and relaxed Latin-inflected grooves, revealing both the breadth of Gillespie’s vision and the playful spirit that made his live performances so memorable.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Moody’s soulful saxophone and flute provide an ideal counterpoint to Gillespie’s brilliant trumpet, while pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Chris White, and drummer Rudy Collins form a rhythm section of remarkable precision, flexibility, and swing. Their constant interplay gives the music its sense of discovery, balancing technical command with warmth, humor, and spontaneous invention. Mastered from the original three-track master tapes, this edition offers a rare opportunity to experience the immediacy of the festival stage with exceptional clarity, preserving one of jazz’s great innovators and his exceptional quintet in full creative flight.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist(s): \u003c\/strong\u003eTrumpet – Dizzy Gillespie\u003cbr\u003eSaxophone, Flute – James Moody\u003cbr\u003eBass – Chris White\u003cbr\u003eDrums – Rudy Collins\u003cbr\u003ePiano – Kenny Barron\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecording Info: \u003c\/strong\u003eRecorded by Wally Heider of United Recording Group at the 1963 Monterey Jazz Festival September 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponents used for Transfer:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis transfer leverages precision analog playback and mastering-grade digital conversion. The signal path begins with a modified Otai 5050 with Flux Heads, fed through a Merrill Audio Master MX Tape Head Preamp. The analogue signal is converted via a Merging Hapi converter, powered by a Teddy Pardo dedicated linear power supply synchronised to an Antelope Audio 10MX atomic clock for temporal accuracy. All components receive isolated power conditioning through a Shunyata Research Everest 8000 with Shunyata Sigma-X power cords, while grounding infrastructure utilises Shunyata ALTAIRA hubs to minimise noise floor and preserve sonic detail throughout the transfer chain.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Dizzy Atmosphere 3:07\u003cbr\u003e2 Morning Of The Carnival 3:35\u003cbr\u003e3 The Cup Bearers 8:10\u003cbr\u003e4 I'm In The Mood For Love 3:22\u003cbr\u003e5 Desafinado 3:50\u003cbr\u003e6 Gee Baby, Ain't I Good To You? 4:51\u003cbr\u003e7 No More Blues 12:59\u003cbr\u003e8 Vote Dizzy (Salt Peanuts) 12:36\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cimg height=\"98\" width=\"110\" alt=\"DSD256 high-resolution audio badge\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0778\/3319\/files\/dsd256_badge_480x480.png?v=1516987294\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e This release was mastered in DSD256 from digital mixdowns of the original 3-track master tapes, which were transferred to tape.
