Review: Trumpeter Bailey draws on the history of when Dizzy Gillespie ran for President in 1964, and points up that the same issues he ran on then are prevalent today. The band is tight & the music is straight be-bop from another lifetime.
If You Like: Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard, Clifford Brown, Woody Shaw
