Dizzy Gillespie - Tin Tin Deo

[@charlesbarry971]

These bass lines were a shift from the traditional walking bass. Brilliant.

Legend has it that it was in fact Chano Pozo (co-author of this tune) who conceived the idea of a melodic, contrapuntal bass line that introduces, and even leads/dominates the whole composition, as in "Manteca". Arsenio Rodriguez, arguably the granddaddy of big band "salsa" formations, said "The bass must sing." (not just walk) But then, let's also not forget the immortal Jimmy Blanton, who began doing crazy things in Duke Ellington's orchestra during the crucial 1940-1944 period, like in the intro to "In a Mellotone".

Dizzy had a unique way of articulating and phrasing

Pour les fans, écoutez la version des Doubles Six avec Dizzy Gillespie. Un petit bijou. 🎶🥂

It took me a while, but I finally found it! It's the Giants of Jazz tour, 1971, in wich Monk is the pianist... only that in this particular duet performance of Tin Tin Deo, Dizzy takes the piano to comp the bass solo. Monk plays only the ending, with the full band. So everybody is right, LOL! Bassist is Al McKibbon Here it is, the tune starts at 25 :54, but all the video is a True Gem kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGfYXp5reNV8gassi=swMZ__2aRT_hjHTk&t=1551

Just amazing. Thanks for posting this.

Dizzy Gillespie plays the trumpet and no doubt Thelonious Monk plays the piano, even if his style is not so clear as it uses to be defined in his way of playing versus his recordings

You're only a bit right, it's Dizzy, though Monk plays the ending! (check my answer in the general trend)

[@katharineellis3809]

To the Front, ladies and gentlemen..

[@charlesbarry6730]

The pianist does not sound like Monk. l believe that Dizzy played the piano here.
