Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Back in Toronto for the umpteenth time; jazz trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie opened last night at the Colonial and writer Jack Batten liked him all the way: He noodles around... and then; boom he takes off. He skids around the heights; his cheeks swell out like ballons; the notes cascade up to the ceiling; the rhythm section hots up. Then - crash; wham; tumult - the set ends.
