I was delighted to discover that Dizzy Gillespie's little-known 1968 LP 'Reunion Big Band'(MPS) has now been reissued on CD as 'Live in Berlin'(VERVE/MPS).
This electrifying Berlin Jazz Festival performance features 'Things To Come' which has been described by jazz writer, Scott Yanow, as "the most exciting version ever recorded, topping the original(1946) rendition".
