O’s Notes: This is volume 2 of Dizzy’s 1956 tour to South America. He’s got the all-star big band with him that includes a young Phil Woods (s), Quincy Jones (t), and Chralie Persip (d). The dynamics and energy are Dizzy’s trademark and yes, they are present! Highlights: “Begin the Beguine”, “Tin Tin Daea”, and “The Champ”.
