    21st Century Dizzy
    Danilo Pérez creates a deeply personal evening reminiscing about one of the twentieth century’s greatest jazz influences, Dizzy Gillespie. Pérez’s first big break came about when he was invited to join Dizzy Gillespie’s United Nations Orchestra, with which he performed from 1989 until Gillespie’s passing in 1992. Pérez has assembled an international band featuring David Sanchez, Rudresh Mahanthappa, Amir Elsaffar, Jamey Haddad, Ben Street, and Adam Cruz to perform new arrangements of classic Gillespie tunes, as well as original group compositions.
