Dizzy's Party is an album by Dizzy Gillespie, recorded in 1976 and released on the Pablo label.[1][2]

Reception

The AllMusic review stated: "A fairly standard date from Dizzy Gillespie's mid-'70s tenure at Pablo Records, Dizzy's Party is primarily a straightforward bop session, with the trumpeter backed by a simple sax/guitar/bass/drums quartet, plus Brazilian percussionist... Dizzy's Party is fine stuff that occasionally approaches excellence".[3]
