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 Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars 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+), 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are honorable mention :-), neutral :-|, negative :-(. At least 3 listens per album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]
