What a master Dizzy was on the horn, such technique unmatched, and masterful as a human being. We should be eternally grateful to God for giving us artists like Dizzy, Bird, Coltrane Tjader, and so many others too numerous to mention.
Damn Cal Tjader could run with Cubans up the block or Brothas down the alley! Vintage right here! Cal lights it up at 4:10. lLng live the greats. They don't make em like they used to.
As we hear announced at the end that's Dizzy's group - the great Mickey Roker on drums, and, I believe, that's Earl May on Fender bass - with Cal Tjader and Roger Glenn {flute} as added guests. I wonder if anyone can name the guitarist{s}?
If my memory is serving me right (and I believe, it is) this was a concert that was held at the famous, BEACON theater, in New York City. I remember it because it was the last-time I was to see my mentor (on the vibes) Cal Tjader, live in-concert. I believe this happened, in the late 70's. I had just started working at ARISTA records, in New York. And, it was there, while working at my desk, that I learned of Cal's untimely passing (in the Philippines) in May 1982. I don't recall Tjader ever playing any gigs in New York, after this concert.
This concert was at the 1975 Monterey Jazz Festival. I remember the set because the lyon in the background for Jimmy Lyons, the producer and founder of the jazz festival. Also one of Cal's best friends.
Tony Molina You could be right, Tony. But, I do remember seeing the same concert (with all of the same musicians) back around that year. And, it was very memorable for me, Tony, because as a Vibraphonist (myself), Cal Tjader was perhaps, one of my strongest influences. Not just for his style of playing, but because my specialty, was also Latin-Jazz, and Afro-Cuban influenced music. And, during the late 60's through the 70's, I made it a priority to try and attend any show that Cal performed in, here in the NYC Metro-area. I actually got to meet and talk with him, at least two times, that he was in town.

This is so cool! Dizzy getting funky! I never knew he played with Cal, a great treat! Thanks for showing this. A treasure.
I feel blessed to have been around to appreciate real musicians playing with skill and soul. It will never be recreated ever again.
Music has no borders
