Dizzy Gillespie Quintet - Kush download song

1} Performers and instrumentation  Dizzy Gillespie- trumpet, vocals, James Moody- tenor sax/flute, Kenny Barron- piano, Christopher White- bass, Rudy Collins - drums 2} School/Style of Jazz. Bebop 3} Form. 16 Bar 4} Reason for inclusion. I like the call and response that goes on in this jam not to mention the song title agrees with me.

And people said Dizzy didn't play the trumpet properly! I suppose that's like Langston Hughes not writing properly!

it's not Chris white on bass or Rudy Collins on drums, that was years later. No thanks to shekky SORRY SON !!

I think it might be Leo Wright on alto sax--could be wrong

great upload, but i cant help thinking of a puffer fish while watching dizzy play!

From Wikipedia i learnt that "The kingdom of Kush" is what today is Sudan (North+South). This piece should be played more often, i.e. alternately with "A Night in Tunesia".

this video has an appropriate purple hue, just like the beautiful weed for which the song could be named.
