From his time with Charlie Parker as one of the leaders in bebop, to his solo explorations, through to his later years delving into World music, Dizzy Gillespie has always been a force of nature as a jazz trumpet player. But his place in history was assured through a combination of musicianship, showmanship and wit -- traits shared by Trinidadian-born elite trumpet player Brownman Ali, who will spend a night examining compositions both written by and made famous by the great Dizzy Gillespie. You'll be sure to hear "Manteca", "A Night In Tunisia", "Hot House", "Groovin' High" and many more Dizzy classics.
