Dizzy Gillespie 1960 - 63

I know that many of you are looking at this post with great excitement, can't say I blame you!  These wonderful gems have been provided by our friend and Crypt brother - Tom Ryan.  For some of you, this will be an introduction to Tom's work which is exactly why I chose these sides.  Many of us are privvy to Mr. Ryan's great contributions, but for the rest of you, I have decided to start rolling out some of his amazing efforts.

These albums are all killer, no filler.  These were Diz' working bands at the time, and they were rock solid.  Superb music, executed by one of jazz' finest sons.  I want to assure you that none of these LPs have any of the corniness which began to creep into his later albums.  My personal favorite would have to be 'Something Old, Something New'.

Let's make sure we thank Tom for these and keep your eyes peeled for more of his great vinyl transfers!!  Enjoy!!
