This is a Penguin crown album, which I will not attempt to grade (or collect) because I am out of my depth. I also tried once the collection that Tom Hull seems to recommend most, Night in Tunisia: The Very Best of Dizzy Gillespie. Definitely did not like the Complete RCA and wonder how it got a crown from Penguin. Night in Tunisia was definitely better but I'm not going to listen to it again.
Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are liked (fka honorable mention) :-), neutral :-|, and negative :-(. At least 3 listens per posted album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I shelved/sold ~10,000 albums after at least 3 listens before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they come up. Yes, I know that album (probably).
