Live at the Village Vanguard is a live album by American jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie recorded on October 1, 1967, at the Village Vanguard and released on Solid State later that year. The complete recordings were released by Blue Note in 1992 under the same title.[1][2]
The unused recordings from the concert were originally released in edited form by Solid State on two compilations entitled Jazz for a Sunday Afternoon Volume 1 and Jazz for a Sunday Afternoon Volume 2.[1] The recordings were subsequently re-released in unedited form as a 2-CD set on the Blue Note label in 1992.[2]
Reception
The AllMusic review stated "These lengthy performances (all but one of the seven songs are over 11 minutes) contain some loose and rambling moments but also plenty of creative playing by this unusual group of all-stars".[2]
