Charlie Parker And Dizzy Gillespie Uptown Records is proud to announce the release of two new additions to its stellar Flashback Series, featuring two of the jazz world's most immortal figures - Charlie Parker, Washington ,D.C., May 23,1948 and Dizzy Gillespie Big Band, Showtime at the Spotlite. While Bird & Diz has virtually become a single word symbolizing the Bebop movement that transformed the art of jazz, the two men were a study in contrasts, borne out by Parker's tragic nova-like explosion of transcendent genius and Gillespie's powerful presence spanning seven decades of ebullient celebration. These two recordings clearly display those stark contrasts, beautifully displaying the extraordinary talents of both men at the height of their creative prowess.
