This is one of the rarely-heard gems of Dizzy Gillespie's music-- but don't worry -- he is going to teach us all how it goes ... the teaching is HILARIOUS and the music is AMAZING!
It rains a lot in the winter ... but both Dizzy Gillespie and Louis Armstrong have us totally covered on umbrellas ... we will not be wet as we dance for joy to this music ... and who remembers that Dizzy and Louis BOTH could sing as well as blow those horns!
Like Louis Armstrong before him, the career of Dizzy Gillespie was longer than we sometimes think -- a funk-flavored take on this classic stands out as showing just how many different musical styles he experienced and touched!
Absolute Legends! Funny my dad had videos of these guys (on Betamax tapes 🤣 ) when I was a child and I grew up knowing him as "the guy with the balloon cheeks" 🤣
That's pretty much how I knew him as a child too -- but YES, absolute LEGENDS!
