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.[2]
