Schifrin's musical arrangement for the track, "Dizzy Gillespie Fireworks" was nominated for the 1994 Grammy Award for Best Arrangement on an Instrumental.[2]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "...Most intriguing among Schifrin's arrangements are Echoes of Duke Ellington and Dizzy Gillespie Fireworks, which are really medleys of Duke's and Dizzy's songs. Not all of the shorter pieces... are too essential, and, on the whole, Schifrin's follow-up project (More Jazz Meets the Symphony) would result in a stronger record. However, this generally interesting set is still worth exploring; it was good to hear Lalo Schifrin in a jazz setting again". He gave the album a four star reting, which is generally reserved for releases of high merit.[3]
