Duke Ellington & Dizzy Gillespie, New York City, 1959
ABOUT THIS PIECE
In February 1959, Duke Ellington assembled a cavalcade of jazz heavyweights and superstars for the swinging Jazz Party album. Jazz great Dizzy Gillespie was one of the guests for Duke's party album and the legendary trumpeter's solo on U.M.M.G. (Upper Manhattan Medical Group) is still awe-inspiring. Photographer Don Hunstein caught Duke and Dizzy together in the studio during the Jazz Party sessions and the reverence in Ellington's face as he savors the mythic sounds pouring out of Gillespie's trademark upswept horn.
