The Girl Of My Dreams

This track, The Girl of My Dreams, brings us Dizzy Gillespie in a live recording context. It was captured in 1973, directly from Paris, France, and its initial release was through the French America label. The piece has a duration of 3 minutes and 17 seconds, a span that allows for exploring both well-known standards and more recent compositions by the trumpeter.

While Gillespie's performance is solid, reviews suggest that on this occasion the usual spark or intensity that characterized him did not fully manifest. Nonetheless, his particularly careful and expressive approach to the ballads within this repertoire is highlighted.
