Charlie – or later on, Charli – Persip isn’t quite as high profile name, drum wise, as Blakey or either of the Jones-es (see the Drum Night at Birdland discs, below).
Persip came to my attention just recently, on Hank Mobley’s Peckin’ Time. I feel I ought to check him out a bit. Maybe on his stuff with Dizzy Gillespie?
These instrument focussed gigs don’t always create the best music. But they are of course of interest, perhaps especially to those of us who play the featured instrument.
