The remaining ten tunes are performed by Gillespie with his big band and do not include Parker. The reason for this, as explained by Ira Gitler in his excellent liner notes, lies in the origin of the concert itself-originally meant only to feature Gillespie's band and guest Ella Fitzgerald. Parker was then invited to join Gillespie's rhythm section for a reunion of sorts in which the twin fathers of bop would hold forth on a handful of their seminal tunes. This they did, and both the music and the fidelity are all that you could want.
Dizzy's big band was packed with great players, and the repertoire reflected many aspects of the trumpeter's personality. CARNEGIE HALL's selections represent the Afro-Cuban sound he helped midwife ("Cubano Be, Cubano Bop," featuring Chano Pozo and Lorenzo Salan); virtuosity disarmed by goofball humor ("Oop-Pop-A-Da," "Salt Peanuts"); straight-ahead bop (Tadd Dameron's "Hot House" and Parker's "Relaxin' At Camarillo"); and more adventurous writing (John Lewis' "Tocatta For Trumpet" and Gil Fuller's "Things To Come").
