Review by RAFAEL ESCANCIANO MARTINEZ

Sleepytime Down South One More Blues by Dizzy Gillespie Quintet is an exceptional jazz album that showcases the incredible talent of the legendary trumpeter and his band. The album features a collection of classic jazz standards and original compositions that are beautifully arranged and expertly performed.

The album opens with the upbeat and lively "Alligator" which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The band's tight rhythms and Gillespie's virtuosic trumpet playing are on full display throughout the album, particularly on tracks like "You Stole My Wife, You Horse Thief" and "Swing Low, Sweet Cadillac."

One of the standout tracks on the album is the hauntingly beautiful ballad "Sleepytime Down South." The quintet's delicate and sensitive playing perfectly complements Gillespie's soulful trumpet lines, creating a truly mesmerizing and emotional piece of music.
