Don't say I never gave you anything
Just when you'd thought I'd gone totally otaku, suddenly we veer hard left into 1960s American cool jazz. But this isn't just any old cool jazz. It's Dizzy Fuckin' Gillespie you Shitheads! What? You don't think Dizzy could play the laid back west coast sound? Phphht! You don't know jack, cats! And to prove you all wrong, here's a limited pressing (only 5,000 copies you lamers!) reissue of Dizzy Gillespie's 1961 album Perceptions.
This is your homework gang. Because you ain't heard nothing like this. Hit the damn play button, turn out the lights, and lay back and just groove to the sound. Believe me, when that last trill on the trumpet fades away, you'll be thanking me.
Tracks: Sword of Orion, Jubelo, Blue Mist, Fantasia, Horn of Plenty, Ballade
Review: This unusual session consists of a complex six-movement suite by J.J. Johnson featuring Dizzy Gillespie's trumpet over a brass choir (six trumpets, two trombones, two bass trombones, four French horns and two tubas), bass, drums, percussion and two harps. Often reminiscent of classical music, Johnson's writing allows plenty of room for Gillespie to improvise. The result is a rather unique set of music that is well worth searching for. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide ~

Again, nice work, and thanks for the Diz!
