An exhilarating collaboration between two jazz visionaries: trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie and pianist/arranger Lalo Schifrin. Free Ride (1977, Pablo Records 2310 794) marries Gillespie’s powerful brass energy with Schifrin’s cinematic compositional flair. The LP features a bold orchestral jazz sound firmly rooted in both swing and modern fusion. Crisp, precise, and emotionally charged—this EX/EX condition pressing is a standout of mid‑’70s jazz that offers both sophistication and groove.
