This is a beautiful 3 LP Box set that comes with an informative book (high quality scans included). Ripped from a brand new sealed vinyl copy. Sounds fantastic! Enjoy! I've always felt that the comparative lack of attention received by Dwike Mitchell and Willie Ruff, despite their travels to South America and Russia (they were apparently more foreign to American ears) and a book written about them by William Zinsser, was due to their academic affiliations and absence from sessions featuring major players (Willie's name would show up on some orchestra sessions as a French horn player, but that was about it). Despite owning three albums by them, I don't think I've ever met anyone who has heard of them let alone heard them. So the discovery of this date with Dizzy Gillespie comes as a pleasant surprise.

Diz is in excellent form, frequently recalling the pre-1960s dominating force that he had been, both as a trumpet player and a musical innovator.

When I first heard the concerts of Dizzy plus the great duo: Dwike Mitchell (a fantasic pianoplayer) and Willie Ruff (great bassist and horn player) I could not believe my ears! It was the record "Enduring Magic", and how right that tittle was and still is. Of course I started hunting for more and found a 3-LP box :"Dizzy Gillespie-Live, with the Mitchell-Ruff Duo", with recordings of several different concerts of the great group.

Because not only Dizzy is great, as he always was, but Dwike Mitchell is a real discovery! He is indeed a great pianoplayer.

As I really didn't hear about this great duo, I started hunting for more, bought several old LP's, and even a book about these fine musicians, because how could it be that I never heard before about these two giants?
Well, I know now that these two musicians decided not to go on the road and get famous, but stayed a the University to give lessons.
However, other jazzgreats (like Dizzy) knew about these hidden treasures: these very fine musicians, and liked to play with them.
Of course the duo did make recordings, but only a small part of that output is released on cd.
I see the musical meetings of jazzlegend Dizzy Gillespie with these two mastermusicians as burried treasures.
Everything they recorded during the 70ths and 80ths should be released on cd to pass on to the next generation, certainly that great 3-LP-box set, but everything else they did too.
Because what we have hear at hand is a JAZZCLASSIC!

This is stunning music! All of it. Period.
