Live At The Royal Festival Hall 
Dizzy Gillespie And The United Nations Orchestra 

As much a tribute to Dizzy Gillespie's pioneering bebop band in the forties as it is a testament to the trumpet master's ability to synthesize Afro-Cuban, Brazilian and Caribbean music into the jazz idiom, Live At The Royal Festival Hall is a real renaissance effort. Originally released in 1989 on the Enja label, this live set captures Diz and an all-star lineup bringing down the house with one startling arrangement after another. No one track from the opener "Tin Tin Deo" to the obligatory "Night In Tunisia" is given a standard treatment. Dizzy incorporates many exciting passages into each song and utilizes the full talents of his "united nations" orchestra, a big band which features the crème de la crème of Latin jazz, many of whom played with Diz in the past. Just a few of the big names include Arturo Sandoval, Danielo Perez, James Moody, Paquito D'Rivera, Steve Turre, Slide Hampton and Giovanni Hidalgo in the late Chano Pozo's role on congas.
