KCCK’s Featured CD for February 2017

dizzyThe KCCK Featured CD for February is “Concert of the Century” by Dizzy Gillespie and Friends. On November 24th, 1980, Dizzy invited five jazz legends–Milt Jackson, James  Moody, Hank Jones, Ray Brown and Philly Joe Jones–to join him onstage in Montreal to pay tribute to the  legendary Charlie Parker. A limited quantity bootleg album of the concert soon appeared, and then disappeared, from the marketplace and the tapes lay dormant for over thirty years. The pristinely restored and fully re-mastered disc features beautiful ballads and rollicking jams that give everyone a chance to stretch out. “Concert of the Century: A Tribute to Charlie Parker” is on Justin Time Records.
