Description
78 RPM RECORD ACETATE BY DIZZY GILLESPIE AND HIS ORCHESTRA PERFORMING LIVE AT SALLE PLEYEL, PARIS, FRANCE FEBRUARY 28, 1948. SIDE ONE IS, "YESTERDAYS" AND SIDE TWO IS, "I CAN'T GET STARTED." THIS RECORDING IS FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE DAVE POCHONET AND IS CUT ON A TWELVE INCH FRENCH ACETATE. THE FIRST NUMBER, "YESTERDAYS," HAS NEVER BEEN RELEASED ACCORDING TO THE LATEST RESEARCH I WAS ABLE TO ACCESS. IT INCLUDES A TENOR SOLO BY BIG NICK NICHOLAS. THE OTHER SIDE IS DIZZY'S TRIBUTE TO BUNNY BERIGAN (PLAYED IN BOP STYLE!) ON, "I CAN'T GET STARTED." I CHECKED THE PRESTIGE ISSUE OF THIS MATERIAL AND THERE IS NO MENTION OF "YESTERDAYS." "I CAN'T GET STARTED" IS INCLUDED ON THE LP BUT THE ACETATE PLAYS WITH MUCH LESS SURFACE NOISE AND HAS SLIGHTLY IMPROVED FIDELITY. YOU CAN HEAR DIZZY'S VOICE AT THE END OF ONE NUMBER. THE SOUND AND CONDITION ARE EXCELLENT. I WOULD GRADE THE PLAYING SURFACE AS "E" AND THERE IS SOME PARTS OF THE LABEL MISSSING BUT ALL THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION IS THERE. SEE PICURES FOR LABEL CONDITION. THE BIG BAND ALSO INCLUDES CHANO POZO, KENNY CLARKE, JOHN LEWIS, BENNY BAILEY, AL McKIBBON AND CECIL PAYNE. THIS MAY BE A ONE-OF-A-KIND ITEM AND THEREFORE THE STARTING BID IS $99.99. SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE RARE BOP.
