Carter, Gillespie Inc.
Seems unlikely they incorporated for this release. :-)
Part of the very enjoyable Pablo re-release series from Analogue Productions, this has two greats from different eras—Benny Carter (alto) and Dizzy Gillespie (trumpet)—playing with Tommy Flanagan (piano), Joe Pass (guitar), Al McKibbon (bass), and Micky Roker (drums).
A mix of styles and tempos from this sextet, and a nice listen.

Interlude
Night In Tunisia
Continental Label Records 1944
- Night in Tunisia is a musical composition written by Dizzy Gillespie in 1942 while he was playing with the Earl Hines Band
Night in Tunisia is a Jazz standard
It is also known as "Interlude", under which title it was recorded (with lyrics) by Sarah Vaughan and Anita O'Day.
Gillespie himself called the tuneNight in TunisiaAlthough the song is sometimes titled "A Night in Tunisia", the proper title is
Night in Tunisia- The complex bass line in the "A section" is notable for avoiding the standard walking bass pattern of straight quarter notes, and the use of oscillating half-step-up/half-step-down chord changes gives the song a unique, mysterious feeling
Like many of Gillespie's tunes, it features a short written introduction and a brief interlude that occurs between solo sections — in this case, a twelve-bar sequence leading into a four-bar break for the next soloist.

Interlude
Lyrics
I lived in a dream for a moment
We'd loved in a midnight solitude
But I never knew at the moment
Love was just an interludeI thrill as your arms would enfold me
A kiss of surrender says the mood
Then heaven fell down when you told me
Love's a passing interludeThe magic was unsurpassed
Too good to last
The magic my heart once knew
Is dressed in blueThe shadow of night all around me
I walk in a moonlight solitude
When I thought romance really found me
Love was just an interludeThe shadow of night all around me
I walk in a moonlight solitude
When I thought romance really found me
Love was just an interludeZ

#Video - Why a Grammy Winner Says You Can’t Understand Jazz Without Cuba
https://peertube.world/w/3sepoddXTodz5pPfwDAGZg[from the #news collective #bellyofthebeast]
Arturo O’Farrill is a #Grammy-winning pianist, composer and one of the most influential voices in #AfroCubanJazz. But for him, #Cuba is more than just an inspiration — it’s home, history and identity.
In #Havana, during the 41st International #Jazz Plaza Festival, Arturo told us why #jazz cannot be understood without Cuba, why #AfroCuban roots remain central to the music’s evolution, and why #cultural exchange persists despite the #US’s decades-long economic war on Cuba.
Arturo has been returning to Cuba year after year for over two decades, honoring his heritage, and using #music as a bridge between Cuban and US citizens - despite the personal cost of taking political positions.
“This is Cuba,” he says. “I come here to learn how to live.”

#DizzyGillespie was an early champion of #LatinMusic, often to the disdain of some of his fellow musicians. Fair to say Dizzy was on to something, eh? #Music #Jazz #AfroCuban #History https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5tRGMHfKrE
