Even Guest Star Dizzy Gillespie, something of a master blender himself, had to take notice. The loudspeakers could not quite conceal the virtuosity of the young players and their apparent ability to make music out of anything and everything. Such a meeting of diverse idioms seemed to bear out Duke Ellington's famous prediction about the pop scene. "Soon," said the Duke, "it'll all be just music...
