Calling Doctor Gillespie (reduction)
Calling Doctor Gillespie (reduction)
as performed by Gene Krupa and his Orchestra
$60
This Edwin Finckel rarity swings hard and doesn’t shy away from its bebop influences. Straddling the line between the two eras of jazz, Calling Doctor Gillespie features some infectious melodies and singable shout choruses. A couple of solos in the middle round this out. Optional guitar part included. Big band version also available.
