Dizzy Gillespie - The Giant
Dizzy Gillespie's "The Giant" is a very classic sounding jazz album that has a feeling of old time greatness. With a backing piano, bass and drums, all the songs have very pleasant and soothing melodies with Dizzy's trumpet laying down melodic improvisations. I really like the upbeat 11 and a half minute song "Serenity" with each instrument getting a change to improvise and really play. I really like listening to the piano comping in the background, it is played in a way to accentuates the tune without taking the spotlight and droning out what is currently happening. A very enjoyable album to listen and relax to.
