Dizzy played for Lucky Millinder's band in the early '40s. It was a riff this band played, after a Dizzy solo in the tune "Little John Special", that Dizzy developed into his tune "Salt Peanuts". who are the sidemen here? Is that Max Roach on drums, TheApeLad?

Désolé, mais c'est Max Roach, il est très reconnaissable, de même que son jeu. Joe Harris auquel vous faites allusion, n'était peut-être pas titulaire à 100%....... ! Pardon de m'expliquer en français, mais jusqu'à preuve du contraire, c'est la langue que je possède le mieux, ..... et pour cause !

It´s neither. The drummer is without a doubt none other than Joe Harris, who worked w. Dizzy from 1946 to 1948.

It's not Kenny Clarke, but Max Roach on drums.

FYI got that information from Martin/Waters text "Essential Jazz: The First 100 Years, 2nd ed," pg. 146. Manteca was recorded in 1947 with that group along with Chano Pozo on congas. Great tune.

If this is from '47 it could very well be the same Big Band that Gillespie recorded Manteca with: Dave Burns, Elmon Wright Jr., Benny Bailey (trumpets, though there is an extra trumpet in the section), William Shepperd, Ted Kelly (trombones), John Brown, Howard Johnson (alto saxophone), Joe Gayles, George "Bick Nick" Nicholas (tenor saxophone), Cecil Payne (baritone saxophone), John Lewis (piano), Al McKibbon (bass), Kenny Clarke (drums -- though it could very well be Roach)
