Beim Dizzy Gillespie Set ist es etwas anders: Fremeaux bietet 1960 und 1961, bei Laserlight gab es 1960 und 1965. Also eine CD identisch, die andere jeweils anders:
Trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie was a genuine luminary, one of the great modernizers of jazz, and as early as the forties he had already introduced Afro-Cuban rhythms into the genre. A decade later, the US State Department sent him round the world as an ambassador, notably to South America where he took advantage of his journey to pursue his quest for Latin rhythms of African origins. And in Argentina he met a young pianist and composer named Lalo Schifrin, who wrote an orchestral suite for Dizzy that he named “Gillespiana.” It became a great standard, and its first live performance was never released… until now. Recorded in 1960 and 1961, the sounds in this set provide marvellous testimony of the Latin Jazz trend that was imminent: this music was the first warning of the tidal wave called bossa nova that would hit America within months. And it provided a whole new generation with an immense groove.
Patrick FRÉMEAUXThe Live in Paris collection by Michel Brillié allows listeners to hear previously-unreleased recordings (made at concerts and private- or radio-sessions) by the great 20th stars in jazz, rock & roll and song. These “live” takes, and the artists’ rapport with their audiences, gives these performances an additional soul and sensibility in counterpoint to the rigorous demands of studio recordings. Particular care was taken when restoring the sound of these tapes in order to meet CD standards while preserving the original colours of the period.

Ob das Konzert von 1961 auch schon auf so einer weit verbreiteten Ausgabe erschienen ist, weiss ich (noch – bin gerade unterwegs) nicht.
