Synopsis of Rhythmstick
Trumpet legend Dizzy Gillespie was one of the most influential figures in two schools of jazz -- with his friend and collaborator Charlie Parker, he was one of the first proponents of be-bop, and later brought the rhythms of African and Latin music into the lexicon of American jazz. Rhythmstick is a performance video which features a stellar line-up of jazz players -- including Art Farmer, Tito Puente, John Scofield, Charlie Haden, Flora Purim, Bernard "Pretty" Purdie, and many more -- paying homage to Gillespie and his musical legacy, with Diz himself sitting in on two numbers. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
