Dizzy's Party is an album by Dizzy Gillespie recorded in 1976 and released on the Pablo label.

Reception

The Allmusic review called the album "A fairly standard date from Dizzy Gillespie's mid-'70s tenure at Pablo Records, Dizzy's Party is primarily a straightforward bop session, with the trumpeter backed by a simple sax/guitar/bass/drums quartet, plus Brazilian percussionist... Dizzy's Party is fine stuff that occasionally approaches excellence".
