Dizzy Gillespie: A Night in Chicago

"Dizzy's infectious joy and irreverent humor made him a living symbol of American music, a global ambassador, a larger-than life figure with his blow-fish cheeks and bent-bellhorn - who helped transform bebop into an international language." - Chip Stern, Musician Magazine

Filmed live in Chicago, this performance showcases the trumpet playing legend as the complete entertainer. The Founding Father of BeBop plays, sings and scats, dances and jokes with a joy and exuberance that light up the stage.

V.I.E.W. Video is proud to present classic Dizzy, performing memorable standards in an intimate club setting. This program is recorded in full 24-track stereo, capturing the overwhelming talent and spirit of one of history's greatest jazz musicians.
