A watershed moment in the history of music happened when Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker got together to perform this new musical style they’d invented, called “bebop.” This astonishing recording from 1945, lost for 60 years and only recently remastered, is a spectacular outing that warrants lots of repeated plays.

Grade: A++.

AllMusic: Dizzy Gillespie & Charlie Parker — Town Hall, New York City, June 22, 1945.
