A Night in Tunisia

Played by Lionel Hampton & Milt Jackson.

Notes:

• The form is a unique, non-AABA or traditional 12-bar blues form.
• This brings in the Afro-Cuban influence from Dizzy Gillespie.
• The rhythm almost feels not like 4/4 when they do the night life section.
• The trumpet solo has a lot of power at some smaller times; a characteristic of Dizzy Gillespie (he has virtuosity in the higher registers)
