The Quintessence New York - Chicago: 1940-1947
captures a number of gems recorded by
Dizzy Gillespie
between 1940 and 1947. These 36 tracks include such
bebop
classics as
"Groovin' High,"
"Dizzy Atmosphere,"
"Salt Peanuts,"
"Hot House,"
and
"Confirmation."
While the
Fremeaux & Associes
releases are recommended to casual fans, it would be easier to locate
The Complete RCA Victor Recordings: 1937-1949
on
Bluebird/RCA
