Reception

The Allmusic review stated "This double album is subtitled "Dizzy Gillespie Plays and Raps in His Greatest Concert," an exaggeration to say the least. In reality, this set (which contains some of his humorous joking with the audience) is a fine all-around example of Gillespie at a typical concert in 1981. At the age of 63, he was no longer the powerful trumpeter he once was, but he still had something to contribute".[2]

Personnel
gollark: Anyway, for drone swarms I recommend just screnching them and stealing them, or failing that (I mean, you could do both), hijacking the drone swarm and sending it against your enemies.
gollark: If a drone is going around ramming you you can just scrench it. If a drone drops HECf-251 on you, it can go high enough that you can't see it, drop it once, and fly away before you know what happened.
gollark: Yes, and it's very hard to defend against.
gollark: It has radars. By default those can only get your distance, but there's an option for providing coords and trilateration is a thing.
gollark: Computronics does, though.
