Following is a very incomplete recdb listing of some currently available titles
on which Dizzy performs.  The listing represents Dizzy in two different
periods of his life.  Chronologically, the late 1940's recordings with
Carlie Parker (Bird) represent some samples of the important revolutionary 
(at that time) bebop that Dizzy and Bird almost singlehandedly created. You
may notice that in the Savoy recordings, Dizzy even plays the piano on the
important date when Bird first led a group including Miles Davis.  The other
period of Dizzy's life represented in this incomplete listing is the 1962
Dizzy recording on the French Riviera--this is a gem with Dizzy in a septet
setting.  Another favorite of mine not listed here is "Jambo Caribe" which
was first released in the 60s on the Limelight label. Also not included are the
seminal Afro-Cuban big band dates that Dizzy recorded on Verve. 

Hope this helps you as you embark to learn more about Dizzy.  Cheers.
