About
The Washington Post calls him "a vibrant force on the
keyboard," while the San Francisco Chronicle dubs him
"the best-known jazzman alive." The Kennedy Center's Artistic
Advisor for Jazz, Dr. Billy Taylor is joined by his longtime
Trio mates, bassist Chip Jackson and drummer Winard Harper,
for a rousing salute to trumpet legend Dizzy Gillespie, with
whom Taylor performed in the late 1940s and early '50s when he
was house pianist at New York's famed Birdland club. Renowned
trumpeter Jon Faddis—whose career includes many performances
with Gillespie and tributes to his mentor—lends his tremendous
range to this lively concert, to feature Taylor's classic tune
"Diz," created in honor of his celebrated colleague.
