Groovin' High
The 1945 Guild 78, which Thomas Owens called the first famous bebop recording.
Dizzy Gillespie, 1945
Guild issued it as catalog 1001, a 78 rpm record paired with "Blue 'n' Boogie"; the side assignment is not confirmed. It was also issued on Musicraft 485 and 486, and the Savoy compilation Groovin' High (1955) carries it as track two at 2:40. That Savoy album runs 36:38 from sessions between 1945 and December 11, 1947, and AllMusic's Scott Yanow rated it so-so for its brevity and incomplete session coverage.
