Groovin' High is a 1955 compilation album of studio sessions by jazz composer and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie.
The Rough Guide to Jazz describes the album as "some of the key bebop small-group and big band recordings.
"[1] Jazz critic Scott Yanow concedes that the music included is classic, but dismisses the compilation over-all as "so-so" because of its brevity, because of the outdated and lightweight liner notes and because the material presented does not represent the complete sessions at which the material was played.
[2] The compilation features Gillespie with a number of combinations and other musicians, including his 1946 big band, Charlie Parker, a sextet with Dexter Gordon and a combo featuring Sonny Stitt.
