Featuring: Dizzy Gillespie (tp), Sonny Rollins (ts), Sonny Stitt (ts & as), Stan Getz (ts), Ray Bryant, John Lewis (p), Herb Ellis (g), Tommy Bryant, Ray Brown (b), Charlie Persip, Stan Levey (d)
This double CD named “The Eternal Triangles” features three classic LPs on which Dizzy Gillespie is joined by Sonny Rollins, Sonny Stitt, and Stan Getz in different settings. On the 1957 sessions, which produced the albums "Duets" and "Sonny Side Up", Dizzy, in prime form, shares an uncannily empathetic relationship with Rollins and Stitt (both on tenor), agilely supported by the Bryant brothers, Ray and Tommy, and Charlie Persip. Comparing their style on tenor, Dizzy said “Rollins is more raucous. He reminds me of a lion the way he attacks.” About Stitt: “He’s more like a cat charming a bird. He kind of hypnotizes, the way he gets in and out of things.” He finished describing these performances as “one of the most gratifying dates” he had ever played on.
On the 1956 "For Musicians Only" album, Stitt is playing only alto because Stan Getz did not want to have two tenors on the session. The rhythm section is fabulous: “Having Ray Brown, Herb Ellis, Stan Levey and John Lewis was a real dream team for us,” said Gillespie. Fifty-three years on, these four sessions are still unmatched. Timeless. (freshsoundrecords. com)
