By now, long-playing records had replaced 78s as listeners' format of choice, and thanks in large part to ten years' worth of ongoing Jazz at the Philharmonic releases the public was accustomed to extended live performances on record.

 Dizzy Gillespie - Verve Records   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-05)
When Parker returned to New York a year later, the two made many appearances and a series of records together that are still viewed as classics.
The economics of the band business, however, dictated that for most of his career from 1950 onwards Gillespie led quintets or sextets, or touring in all-star formats like Jazz at the Philharmonic.
Fortunately, he was also often involved in star-studded groups convened for the sole purpose of a studio session, including the 1950 reunion with Parker and pianist Thelonious Monk (the only time the three recorded together) or the 1957 date with saxophonists Sonny Stitt and Sonny Rollins.
