Celebrating Dizzy Gillespie w/ the Jon Faddis Quartet

Oakland-born trumpet legend Jon Faddis pays tribute to his friend and mentor Dizzy Gillespie with this historic performance, his SFJAZZ debut, joined by a superb quartet.

First encountering his hero at age 12 while attending a Gillespie performance in San Francisco’s North Beach jazz enclave in 1965, Faddis was inspired to woodshed and met the bebop pioneer again at 15, jamming with him and kindling a lifelong friendship and musical partnership that lasted until Gillespie’s death in 1993.
