Dizzy Gillespie and
Les Double Six , also known as the Double Six of Paris, a French vocal group who sings in
vocalese to songs associated with Dizzy Gillespie. Gillespie, pianist
Bud Powell , and a rhythm section accompany; two of the songs feature his quintet, with
James Moody .
[5] It was reissued on CD in 1989.
Reception
Leonard Feather described the album as "unique and unprecedented" and described the music as "sensational." Commenting on the vocalists, he wrote, "The results impress partly as a technical tour de force, and the Double Six must be respected for its accuracy and peerless intonation, but these values are a means to an artistically complete end."
