New Wave (Dizzy Gillespie album) New Wave (Dizzy Gillespie album) New Wave! is an album by Dizzy Gillespie consisting of live and studio performances recorded in 1962 and released on the Philips label in 1963. In his "Down Beat" magazine review of March 14, 1963 jazz critic Don DeMichael wrote that "Dizzy plays marvelously on this record... There's a spirit evident that is all too often missing from today's record sessions – a spirit of vivacious humor and playing-for-the-hell-of-it." The Allmusic review states "this was one of Dizzy Gillespie's finest sessions of the 1960s... Highly recommended". Dizzy Gillespie - trumpet Leo Wright - alto sax,
Dizzy Digs Paris "As a whole, the two-CD set might not be a major entry in the Gillespie discography, but it's a good one. And it's certainly hard to imagine a more complete package of this 1953 Salle Pleyel concert, complemented as it is by studio material recorded by the same musicians at the same time and place". "All compositions by Dizzy Gillespie except as indicated" Disc One: Disc Two: Recorded on February 9, 1953 at the Salle Pleyel (Disc One and Disc Two, track 1) and on February 22, 1953 at the Studio Pathe Magellan (Disc Two, tracks 2-17) and February 27,
