Gulf Coast Jazz Collective
Salt Peanuts: The Music of Dizzy Gillespie
With his upswept trumpet, puffed cheeks, and irresistible charisma, Dizzy Gillespie was one of the most joyful forces in the history of American music — and also one of its most sophisticated harmonic innovators.
The Gulf Coast Jazz Collective brings in a trumpet virtuoso to lead this high-energy celebration of Gillespie’s bebop genius and his lifelong gift for making even the most complex music feel like a party.
Featuring several Afro-Cuban Jazz selections, including A Night In Tunisia and Manteca.
