Dizzy Gillespie - Free Ride (1977)
Released: 1977 | mp3 320 kbps | 100 mb
This is no classic, but I see nothing wrong in a guy the status of Dizzy Gillespie going out on a limb every once in a while. Critics hate this album because it is so out of character, especially paired with the magnificent Lalo Shifrin. Let me tell you, when you feel like a little pick-me-up, this is the CD to play. Funky rhythms blend with Dizzy's trumpet to create its own beat. Check out "Unicorn," "Free Ride," "Incantation," and "The Last Stroke of Midnight." Oh, and it's loaded with talent too. ~ Maxim
