Roy and Diz

Roy and Diz is an album by trumpeters Roy Eldridge and Dizzy Gillespie, recorded in 1954 and originally released on the Clef label as two separate volumes.

[1] Selections from these sessions were also released as Trumpet Battle and The Trumpet Kings.

The Billboard review of the second volume in 1955 stated: "The first Roy–Diz set, provocative as it was, struck many as more of a 'cutting contest' than a collaboration.

While the competitive element is not absent in this second set, here this acts as a mutual stimulant.

"[5] The AllMusic review awarded the album 3 stars.
