Untitled

Closer to the Source is an album by trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie recorded in 1985, featuring an all star cast of guest musicians and released on the Atlantic label.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review stated "This set of commercial material (with guest spots by Stevie Wonder, tenor saxophonist Branford Marsalis and bassist Marcus Miller) is quite forgettable -- throwaway funk tunes with the parts of the sidemen sounding as if they were phoned in".[2]
