JATP All Stars Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson/Germany 1956

This release features a recording of the Hamburg performance on February 29, 1956, from the JATP (Jazz at the Philharmonic) tour, initiated by Verve Records founder Norman Granz. This is a truly historically valuable recording, containing 72 minutes of previously unreleased live music, making it a must-have for jazz fans. The JATP tour featured a star-studded lineup of musicians who shone brightly in the jazz scene at the time! This album was once released in Europe, but unfortunately, it is now out of print and currently sells for nearly $50 on Amazon USA. This album captures the all-star jam session that was the highlight of the tour in the best possible sound quality. It’s an album you won’t regret listening to, so please enjoy it.
