43m • jAZZ, Performance • 1973

A dazzling jazz performance led by the great Gillespie, with Mickey Roker, Earl May and guitar artistry driving the rhythm and swing.

The great Gillespie takes centre stage in a vibrant jazz performance alive with rhythm, virtuosity and effortless cool. Joined by Mickey Roker, Earl May and a gifted guitarist, the ensemble moves with the easy confidence of musicians at the top of their craft, delivering a set full of swing, improvisation and the unmistakable electricity of live jazz.

Rialto Recommends For jazz fans, this is pure pleasure: master musicians, live energy and the kind of spontaneous brilliance that only happens when great players meet in the moment. With Gillespie at the heart of it, the performance is lively, elegant and full of character — a reminder that jazz is at its best when it feels completely alive.
