Dizzy Atmosphere brings together an outstanding hard bop line-up featuring trombonist Al Grey, trumpeter Lee Morgan, tenor saxophonist Billy Mitchell, pianist Wynton Kelly and a stellar rhythm section. The session delivers swinging ensemble performances, blues-inflected solos and the energetic interplay that defined late-1950s modern jazz.
