Dizzy Gillespie's Dream Band "Manteca"

Recorded in 1981 at Lincoln Center, captures legendary jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie performing with his Dream Band, consisting of a wide array of jazz music's finest musicians, many of whom worked with Gillespie during the evolutionary era of the early-'40s bebop period. It includes an all-star cast highlighted by pyrotechnic drum wizard Max Roach (Grady Tate on this set), Gillespie's protégé trumpeter Jon Faddis, and Modern Jazz Quartet cofounders John Lewis (piano) and Milt Jackson (vibraphone). The leader's crowd-pleasing persona, trademark puffy cheeks, and no-nonsense trumpet solos steal the show. Selections range from Gillespie's Afro-Cubop favorites "Manteca".

This saxophone section is incredible! Frank Foster, Paquito D'Rivera, Frank Wess, Jimmy Heath and Pepper Adams!!!!!

[@BillBenzon]

I thought that was Frank Foster on the end.

[@trane1959]

pretty sick sax section - Frank Wess, Paquito, Frank Foster, Jimmy Heath, and Pepper Adams. WOWWZERS!!!

[@ZeroBudgetFilmSchool]

Love the way he kicks it going at the start.

[@Francisco_rivera.579]

Con ese solo de conga, del mostruoso Candido Camero......pa que mas.

[@Truefire7778]

this had to be my favorite song to play in highschool. i was playin lead in my junior year with 4 trumpets 2 bones 4 saxes and 2 percussion. small group but great times

[@man_on_wheelz]

Same here, but slightly bigger band, fun fun times!

[@gillypink8777]

This song looks like it would be really fun to play - even here, the band is having so much fun!

[@erndel7]

Wow Jon Faddis….RIP

[@MrJellyton]

4:26 Jimmy Heath may he rest in peace. Such a short and sweet solo on some rhythm changes.

[@BassmanII]

the incomprable Dizzy Gillespie. What a showman!

[@beatsbits]

that's still the funk:) ever since the afro cuban jazz fusion with Chano Pozo 1947

[@DLyons]

I would like to 'like' this a hundred million google times. DIZZY JAZZS MY WORLD!!!!!

[@TheYolanda777]

This blows my mind every time I hear it!!!

[@TamR10]

Candido's solo is incredible! Legend.

[@jesusrivera743]

Got a chance to see Candido in New York City years back celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Mambo of course recognizing Prez Prado the tune was Concierto para Bongo truly one of the greats no question about it

[@mantellim5489]

too much swag in this video

[@jvrojas2005]

Damas y caballeros... El que no sepa que aprenda!

[@mrnarutomaniac1]

The way Dizzy looks at him 2:20 tho lmaoo

[@man_on_wheelz]

When Dizzy looks at a trumpet player like that, he must have done something right :-)

[@princepowers4109]

😀 It was good to him!

[@faziox100]

Dizzy Gillespie una delle stelle più luminose del jazz.

[@howardberger1015]

I was at that show. What a night!

[@finalfrontier2376]

I have this DVD and I am totally envious of you. I wish I had a chance to be there to see this. This is the bomb.

[@1hemulen]

the great Melba Liston on trombone!

[@JonathanJFrantz]

I'm playing this song in my local jazz band and well...its not easy;

[@ninavaughn8420]

Love the Latin beat!

[@ernestogarcia7931]

Legends the best of the best

[@davidwilmothall]

What it must be like to exist on a level of virtuosity where technical issues no longer exist, and music is just a conversation among very, very, very cool friends

[@fionabowden3621]

Amen to that! Beautifully said

[@connorwilliams3232]

OMG JON FADDIS!

[@BeverlyA.Johnson]

He Had Immediate Presence In Leather Slacks, A Leather Fishermans' French Cap, And A Sexy Smile..."A COOL CAT!"

[@PsychosisGnome]

Dizzy's reaction to the stuck valve major 7th is priceless.

[@t.jackson100]

Dizzy! Still luv iT!❤🎶🎺✨💃🎵

[@bionicbenofficial]

Oh, i thought there was only room for ONE bent trumpet! They're all at it!!!

[@willylorenzohernandezgaste3445]

[@jairodager577]

The best Congo player ever Cándido

[@elangelphoto]

Listening and enjoying this fantastic music wears you out...in a good way. Thanks for sharing.

[@CantolaoTV]

I have checked this song played by Dizzy and It never ever is played the same way !

[@tbonk99]

wow young john fadis! awesome group

[@xhaxha298]

My recording has him saying clearly "I'll NEVER go back to Georgia:"

[@erdwest]

Love that one. He recorded it and Night in Tunisia many times.

[@247hdjazz]

[@davidobrienii]

[@magovenor]

Thank you Mr. McCain! That was OUTSTANDING!!!

[@dimasleandro4919]

Fabuloso. 🎷

[@kingwilliam89]

Hells Yeah!!!!!!!!! Rockin' and soooo tight!

[@42trumpetguy]

Dizzy Gillespie has made youtube history in this video, by making it the first not to be disliked. I mean... it's obvious why

[@trane1959]

the description on the right is describing the whole concert, which I have on DVD. Max comes out for a feature or two if I remember, including one on just the hi-hat, but Grady is the drummer with the big band throughout.

[@beefblock3279]

I'm playing this song in my middle school jazz band, I play the bass line on the electric bass.

[@MatthewBrumfield]

Sansu Tun No way. We are playing it in jazz band but I play electric guitar

[@henniebogan1]

lol the double bass is playing straight up FUNK in the beginning

[@MrCrossbones2008]

I met Grady Tate when I was invited to a jam session by Ray Bryant...in the elevator of our hotel! HA!! Grady is a great guy...have you heard him sing? He's a great vocalist too!!

[@nicklh186]

Cold beat!!!

[@juanchosabor]

CANDIDO CAMERO ON CONGAS ?????

[@XE1GXG]

Sounds much less "cubano" and much more "gringo"--as in Afro-American. Lots of fun!

[@miltonmoreno4585]

Másters en toda Dimensión ..Candido excepcional

[@Schilli666]

very nice

[@MeltonMan100]

one word EPIC

[@finalfrontier2376]

Fire I remember having this CD and DVD it’s off the chain the whole show young people you don’t know what you’re missing. This whole show at the Lincoln Center was the bomb only wish I was there.

[@BassmanII]

@MrTheguyofbigbite that is a trumpet, but with an upswept bell. The story behind that is that one night, Dizzy's trumpet fell and wound up that way. Dizzy liked how he was able to hear himself better and kept all his horns that way.

[@Scaltt]

Dizzy's jizzin' all over that stage!!

[@bvscfanatic]

and on the congas, that would appear to be Candido Camero

[@kuriaki71]

awesome

[@AtmaRising]

awesome!

[@TheMrCompletely]

A+. You win at life. Kudos.

[@that1personMan]

WOOO!!! Love dizzy and his music

[@Markeygirl]

Amazing

[@willphillipsmusic]

Thank you for posting this!

[@mequeziel]

isto que é música!

[@johnfranks9216]

The lady is Melba Moore

[@daveyfletcher]

Here's another version of Manteca from an unreleased concert (with Candido as guest!) that was in danger of being forever lost...until my friend bought the reel on auction and discovered the treasure it held. When I wrote to his daughter, she thanked us for sharing it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXKko4iwa5WLbKssi=JvazJT1HKHIEUnIw

[@BassmanII]

Since I found out who the bassist is, I'd like to know who's on piano and guitar. So for the rhythm section thus far, it's George Duvivier (Bass), Grady Tate (Drums), Candido (Congas).

[@TheIzzysteve]

@XBassGroove11X It's Pepper Adams.

[@HAYZILLAisme]

Groovin percussion section

[@cymbalspecialist]

Grady Tate, drums

[@jolanta1ful]

Love it!

[@Ricky0777]

Victor Paz from Panama lead trompet and the legendary master conguero Candido Camero, Paquito D Rivera , all latinos musicians.

[@jesusrivera743]

Vitin Paz awesome underrated used to see him every night with the doc severinsen orchestra the Tonight show with Johnny Carson skilled trumpet player could blend his horn with either format Jazz or Latin

[@fransjansen7809]

Go0od old Dizzy wonderfull

[@DJProfesserK]

kudos to the percussion master

[@fughezzi]

I like it!!!!!!!!

[@kenmorimura5984]

Candido !

[@BassmanII]

@bigmags212 I think you can actually custom order trumpets with the upswept bell. Jon Faddis' horn was the same way.

[@dddanea]

The drummer is Grady Tate, indeed!

[@OzmosisTV]

excellent instrumentation. Thumbs up!!! Loved the trombone solo!

[@schnieef]

Curtis Fuller & (I guess) Melba Liston in are in the 'bone section.

[@paulcallander3965]

Love his Michael Jackson dancing xD

[@trane1959]

@XBassGroove11X well, he was on the gig, but not in the section.

[@scomdnz9]

[@gardner593]

Dizzy makes me dizzy ! Great personarity !

[@ChrisHobobin]

haha no, it was he always got criticized for not playing his horn level, he always had it down, so he made this to make it so he didn't have to raise his horn.

[@LanceKrouse]

@bigmags212 I read that he bent the first one in a bus accident!

[@kingediii]

that's OJ on the second horn, 00:53.

[@Sebastian__Garcia]

larga vida al maestro Candido Camero

[@tasogare82]

Dizzy was so ahead of his time: he knew KZbin would have a 10 min limit!!

[@petitmoomoo7190]

ジャズお好きなんですね！！イイですよね。

[@trane1959]

the secret weapon, Mr. Grady Tate.

[@freein2339]
