Although recorded before Al Di Meola joined the band, it remains an exciting listen in the shadow of the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Home of the un hip here…
I only offer these old timers up so they are not forgotten.
Tone poets wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole.
They make me smile with their gentle humour. Their abilities forged night after night in the Basie or Ellington bands. I like Vic’s bathroom singing style. No stress,no look at me how clever and innovative.
The orchestral Johnny Guarnieri could adopt what ever style you want… bit of Tatum here perhaps Teddy Wilson or something more modern would fit.
Worked for Artie Shaw and Bennie Goodman.
Well recorded in some small studio in Antibes during a festival and sounding fine on Qobuz.

Personnel: Dizzy Gillespie: trumpet; Joe Pass: guitar; Ray Brown: bass; Mickey Roker: drums.
One of Dizzy Gillespie’s best small-group recordings from the latter part of his career.
Enjoy

Mirror, Mirror Review
by Scott Yanow
Tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson has had a remarkably consistent career. Although he has spent periods (such as the 1970s) in relative obscurity and others as almost a jazz superstar, Henderson’s style and sound has been relatively unchanged since the 1960s. This lesser-known album finds Henderson in typically fine form in an acoustic quartet with pianist Chick Corea, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Billy Higgins. Carter and Corea contribute two songs apiece, Henderson gets to perform his “Joe’s Bolero” and the tenor sounds majestic on “What’s New.”
Recording Date: January, 1980
