[78-L] Dizzy Discs

[simmonssomer]

That concert is very well known. Turns out that the music did not arrive in 
time for the concert and they played everything from memory.
Nobody knew.
>From that concert I have.... "Round Midnight", "Algo Bueno", "I Can't Get 
Strated", "Oo-Ya-Koo", "Afro-Cuban Suite", "Things To Come" and 
"Oop-Pop-A-Da."
Ir is amazing, especially the complex Afro-Cuban Suite. A bunch of geniuses. 
Kenny Clark and Chano Pozo percussion. John Lewis piano.Many, many other 
notables in this incredible orchestra.
